I will do a brief summary of what is going on...

 

    Chuck came for a wedding about 30 miles from where we are staying so we were able to fit in a quick visit in May.

   Shelly has been hit by budget cuts at the school and there was a slight chance she wouldn't have a job this fall.  Luckily, she does still have a job and is back at work.

   Julie is volunteering at the high school and is team manager of Brett's soccer team.

   Mark continues to work on projects around their new home.

   Ryne is starting his Junior year at Arizona State and will go back in August.

   Brandon competed in the NCAA swim meet in Ohio.  He did an outstanding job.  He will start his sophomore year at Lewis University in Illinois in September.

   Jessica will start her Senior year of high school.  She continues to compete in swimming and is touring colleges

   Paige will start her sophomore  year at UCLA in September.  She has had a lot of fun living in LA and continues to dance and teach dancing.  Along with that she interned for a local politician this summer.

   Brett continues to play on two soccer teams.  She traveled to Las Vegas and New Jersey for tournaments this summer.  Julie and she took a whirlwind tour of New York while they were there.  They also spent time touring colleges.

   Kennedy participated in the Academic Pantathalon where she won several medals.  She promoted to a Freshman at Tracy HIgh. She was selected as one of 10 out of ditrict students to attend Tracy high and be in their IB program. 

   Julie and her family traveled to Maui for a week in August.

   Skip continues to volunteer at the Elks Lodge.

   I do lots of little projects.  I did work for the U.S. Census for a couple weeks.  It was interesting.
