a day late and a dollar short, but it's ok (5 months since I wrote and time for an update)

So things are zooming along with everyone. Here's a quick update: Sam is working harder than ever in summer school with Miss Brynne and me in reading and math. I have found some really exciting materials to help with children struggling in reading and have taken classes to understand how to teach it. It is so exciting to see his progress. "Slow and Steady", but he'll get there. It's my goal in life that he reads as well as I do, and I'm thinking I will start my Masters Degree at the U of U in Reading and Literacy, I have become so passionate about it.

I will be teaching Spanish in the Fall again at Wasatch Peak Academy. I love doing this. It's a great way to be involved in teaching, without the all day commitment.

Shana and Justin are great. We had a ton of fun with them and the rest of the family in Coeur d' Alene at the beginning of June. Scott and Denise had a week at a gorgeous cabin up there and it was only 15 minutes from Mary and Baden's house in Spokane. We loved seeing them. Here are a few pics. I'm thinking it is one of God's most beautiful places on earth. What do you think???
