Just hangin out on Friday night

Today's big event was getting the carpet cleaned. It took all my umph to empty the living room and put it all back after it dried. Looks good.

We've got the girls while the boys and Carrie and Tony go to Cedar Rapids for a soccer tournament. Crazy! The weather I mean. I can't believe they are planning to play in this stuff. The girls and I will go to Hannah's school tomorrow for their ice cream social. Hope it's indoors. I am such a wuss these days.

Hannah is learning to read, which is fun to see. She brought a new book over that she bought at the school book fair. Now Cora is reading to her as they try to settle down to sleep.

I am catching a bit of Donny and Marie on Miss USA. In between "have you got your teeth brushed," etc.

Heard from Chris today. They are having beautiful weather--that time of year there. They are going to San Diego this weekend, then out on the boat next week, then he leaves for his trip. He seems very excited to make this trip, and I am glad he is flying Maria's mom out to stay with her and Makenna while he is gone.

Mario has been very busy with his translating work for ISD, as well as winding down the last 6 weeks at QND. He says he will be ready for school to be out. He has a great summer to look forward to. We have our trip with the kids in June, then he goes on a service trip with Catholic Heart Work Camp (high school kids from all around the country), and in July his trip to Mexico with Frank and Chris. Looks like a couple of brothers will be joining them for at least a part of it. He will get to see where he grew up, and they are finishing up in Puerta Villarta. I am hoping one of my ass-kicking sisters will get on the ball and organize my New York experience!!!
