The Old Oak Tree

The Old Oak Tree

It's been a busy, but laid-back kind of week with Bobby, Amy, Luke and Tyler. We had our Luau Monday evening and it was great. The only "fly in the ointment" was a few too many mosquitoes. They don't spray for them until June 15 -- at least it will be better while Jared, Bethany, Ruby and guests are here.

Luke turned 11 yesterday. That is so hard for me to believe! He's a great young man and has lots of enthusiasm for life in general. He ended the school year on the "A" Honor Roll. We are very proud of him. Tyler had one B, but still made the "AB" Honor Roll. Both boys seem to be thriving in the Stephenville school system.

I heard through the grapevine that Kevin got to go on vacation with Sarah and Caleb (with Sarah's mother, dad, sister and family) after all. Last we heard they were in San Diego and going to the zoo today.

Windy Babcock is in late pregnancy and very, very miserable. She's having some hard contractions, some as often as 4 minutes apart, but they don't sustain. She's been to the hospital 2 or 3 times, but sent back home each time. The baby is a "low rider" and even lower now that it's almost delivery time. She's not really due until the 22nd, but had McKenna about 3 weeks early. She had a regular Dr. appointment today, so we'll be anxious to hear how that went.

Mom seems to be doing pretty well. She's definitely better!

Will close for now -- not much new -- just enjoying a beautiful day here in northern Michigan.

Oh, I almost forgot -- I got a new mixer today. It's a DeLonghi and it's as beautiful as it is strong. Guess I can finally retire Bob's Mom's 50 + year-old Sunbeam. Hooray!

Bye-Bye
