July!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say what? Already? We are officially into the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah has been enjoying going to his sailing camp. We have been running all over the place with different events. Arabella had a youth night meet-up at one of the church campuses, and during the day, we spent time running back and forth from the sailing camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Fourth of July was very quiet (by our standards). I love going downtown to watch the fireworks over the Hawthorn Bridge, but this year, I guess the tradition died, since the kids wanted to do other things. This is the first 4th of July we haven’t gone to fireworks… in a long time. Technically, we still saw some, but it was just neighbors setting them off around the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are going on a trip to Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fasten your seat belts, as you are now clear to move about the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
