Whew! The summer is already flying by!

• Madison has her last Driver’s Ed class on Thursday. She’s still a year and a half away from her license, but happy to have the class over. She’s packing for Thailand and leaves July 11.
• Taylor, on the other hand, is not too far from having her license – seven days to be exact. Our 4th of July kid will be driving "old blue" around Pella  next week. Yikes!
• Wendy has been doing well with the commute to Sully each day. It hasn’t been a huge deal except when she got stuck behind the Great Iowa Tractor Ride coming home Monday and going to work yesterday. She called me to vent her frustrations as she putzed behind a million puttering tractors that were in her way.
• We’re enjoying a respite from the stage for a few months before Wendy begins directing The Christmas Post in the fall. It’s strange to be able to sit in our home at night and…do nothing.
• Brown Construction arrives Friday to begin our 2006 home improvement project. We’re putting a shower in the main floor bathroom and expanding/adding a shower to the upstairs bathroom for the girls.
• Looking forward to seeing the family at Grandma VH’s birthday party on Saturday!
