June happenings

We had a busy week.  I was in Indiana for work on Monday and Tuesday.  CK picked me up from the airport Tuesday night and we drove to Malta so he could repaint the welcome sign in town (he painted it the first time 20 years ago or so and they asked him to refresh it).  It turned out great:
 We got back Thursday night in time to close on some new land we bought in Helena (~14 acres).  We are planning for Craig and Jan to use part of it to build themselves a new home closer to the grandkids :)  The rest might be the start of a college fund for the kids.

The kids enjoyed the (short) trip to Grandma's house and the beautiful weather we had in Malta.  We also went early enough to avoid mosquito season (although, of course, with my sweet blood, I got bitten a few times).

Reese had her last soccer game last weekend and here she is with her medal and post-game snack (this was the only time she smiled the whole game; most of the time we spent coaxing her to even get on the field).  Overall I think she had a good experience and will hopefully get more and more comfortable with team sports in the future.

Emily has been bouncing like a champ in the jumperoo.  I think she likes it most of the 3 kids.  Lately, she's been jumping so much she jumps herself right to sleep...
