Joyous July

Once again I must say wow to how fast life zooms by.

We are so blessed to have Jared, Julianna and Thomas here in San Antonio.  They have worked so hard getting their home organized and let me just say how beautiful it is.  Julianna has even made time to make some delicious strawberry and mixed berry jams to share - absolutely delicious!!!

Kelli and Rob have blessed our family with the birth of their son, Blake Jeffrey Lindeman on July 5, 2012.  We are so happy to have him here.  I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to go stay with Kelli and Rob for several days.  They have a beautiful apartment and are so blessed to have many wonderful friends who live close by.  They are going to be awesome parents!!!!

Blake was home for a week, but due to a nasty urinary infection he has been hospitalized for several days.  The good news is that he is coming home - hopefully today.  Many, many prayers have been offered on his behalf and boy will that family be happy to all be home together again.  We can't wait to visit in August for Rob's white coat ceremony and Blake's blessing.

Elena and Kacie are enjoying a week up at girls camp.  Oh, how I miss not being there, but there is a season to everything and I sure enjoyed my years of serving as the camp director.  My new opportunity of service will be as Cub Master to the young boys in our ward.

Jared will have his white coat ceremony on Sunday and is looking forward to the start of his medical schooling.  Julianna has had a couple of interviews with an assisted living facility close by and we are hoping for a job opportunity for her.  I have enjoyed running with Julianna the past few mornings and even though my legs ache, it is good to run again.

The rest of the family has enjoyed a July full of Fiesta Texas, Landa Parks and lots of swimming at the pool.  For all you roller coaster fans, the Rattler at Fiesta will be closing down the beginning of August.
