Update...Todd is doing better and back to work, we had a great time in Hilton Head with Todd, Tara and Grace, and Carli is feeling good. Whew.

Jeremy quit driving truck and will now be working locally for a while. Working on some construction type projects, so that should keep him busy and happy! I'm glad that he won't be on the road so much. Right now he is in Michigan helping his dad build a new house. Carli is going up for the holiday weekend to spend time with Jeremy's family.

Tara starts back to work on the 6th. Please pray that her child care situation works out. I really wish that I lived closer...I am going through baby withdrawel after being with them for a whole week :)

When it rains, it pours...and not just with the weather!

We were at Else Marie deVrie's graduation party in Somerset, PA when Tara called and said that Todd was in the ER. So...we came home, packed our overnight bags and went to Columbus to stay with Grace. Todd ended up having an appendectomy, and it was a goo thing that he did. Hopefully he will heal quickly as we were supposed to vacation together next week in Hilton Head.

Carli had a rough week last week, but they are thinking that it was a problem with her inner ear that made her sick. She is feeling better this week, but very tired. Hard to figure if it is just the stress of school and long hours studying, or if we should be worried. Her doctor was going to do a CT this week if she wasn't feeling better. Hopefully she is being honest about how she feels. Last weekend she just didn't look good...I'll check her out again tomorrow!!

Kelsie is doing well at Camp Friedenswald. This week she is working in the office...hopefully putting some of her marketing education to work for Camp. Last week she worked in the kitchen...I would've loved to be a little mouse watching her help the cooks!

Ted and I saw "Fiddler on the Roof" last night at Playhouse Square. Always such a moving musical...love the music. We really have enjoyed the productions that we have seen there-highly recommend it.

Fun holiday weekend with all three girls home, at least for a while! Kelsie left for Camp Friedenswald on Sunday after church. She will be working there for 8 weeks. Carli is hoping that she will be as passionate about Camp as she is!

Grace was dedicated in church on Sunday morning along with another Grace (Hochstetler), Madison Yoh, and Landen Ediger, who was only 11 days old! What a touching service. So glad that our pastor, Darrell, was willing to do that on his last day as pastor of our church. We will miss him and his wife, DeeDee.

I predicted that this week would be nice and warm, and then next week would be cold and possibly rainy. Happens every year the week after school is out!!
