Busy days of summer are here. It seems like when I looked at my dayplanner it was already getting so full I don't know when I am doing what. But, one thing I do know is that next week is the FIRST OFFICIAL WEEK of CAMP NEENA. I am so excited. My first camper is Macy and we already have some pretty awesome plans. We will be posting about them next week. She will be my co-correspondent. I think I will even let her write a blog with me. Stay tuned!

Then, our plans are to go the beach with all of our kids and their families the following week when we take her back. I am very excited about that! Baby Jaxon has not ever been to the beach that I can remember. They didn't get to go last year with us because Mommy was due any minute with her! This will be a fun year to watch them all.



Mother broke her foot last week. This is not actually her foot be it looks very similiar! I "googled" this foot picture for comparison! She was able to get one of the hard boots to walk in but it rubs her leg and is so heavy to walk in. But thankfully it is healing and she is mobile. OUCH!


My sister Jody has been here the past few days with her daughter Jenna Lynn and baby Reese. Reese is one of the fabulous five babies born last spring in our family. She has grown since this picture alot. They are on their way to North Carolina where Jenna, Matt and Reese are moving. Jody and Jim, and all of us, will miss them alot. But, who knows? Maybe I'll actually get to go on a trip there sometime. I would love it. Matt is now officially Dr. Cope and will be doing his residency at Duke. We are all very proud of him ! They have done alot of hard work to get where they are.







Then, Friday is my Uncle Bill's birthday. I won't get to share cake with him but I plan to call him and let him know how special he is to us. This picture was made last year at their anniversary party. How come I am the shortest one in this picture? I am named after my Aunt Mary Lynn. HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE BILL!
