Since Jean left, we have been busy discovering opportunities.  Matt went on a couple of long work trips around Florida.  We booked a family camping summer leave trip in north Georgia.  We did a camping practice run at Gold Head State Park nearby… we were a little out of practice after 4 whole years of not camping in Italy.  Cedar did a couple of Scouts camping trips and was inducted into the Order of the Arrow, a leadership troop.  Ashton is going to be on the set crew of a play, and has been gearing up for taking a standardized test and doing FREE college via Dual Enrollment.  We are looking at kids’ jobs and driver’s licenses, going to UU youth group and finding friends.  We are going to local concerts and festivals, and checking out trails to walk. We have enjoyed reclining seats at the movie theater. And, most importantly, Matt made more pizza.

Life is starting to get full of fun and experiences; there is really an endless stream of opportunity here.
