Howdy! The John Deere birthday party on Isaac's b-day was great! Several other kids and their moms came for the fun, in addition to my family. The kids wore silly John Deere hats that they decorated with JD stickers, we sang songs, and we ate La Gondola spaghetti for dinner. Yum, yum! Because of the rain, the party was indoors which in the end worked out better.

Old King's Orchard VBS last week went well again this year. I loved the kids!

Brian and several co-workers went on a canoe trip in Indiana on Friday. Isaac and I met them at night and stayed in a hotel. In the morning, we went to the Indiana children's museum which was great. Isaac was petrified-- the dinosaurs were so life-like! He also was very scared of the Polar Star (we read a book about him--a huge polar bear!). We went downtown in Indy for lunch and then got warmed up for our car trip next week by driving home. Actually, Isaac slept the whole way, which was nice. I'm sure on Friday and Saturday we will be listening to lots of kids music. I'd like to go to the library and check out a few CDs.

We will visit with Emily and Brian and Sydney next Sunday in Baltimore. Her new baby will be named Andrew (he's due at the end of July). We can't wait for his arrival!

That's all the news. Looking forward to vacation!
