Great Summer Read

So I just finished reading "A Vintage Affair" by Isabel Wolff. While it's not the type of book I typically read (I like to read John Grisham, the women's murder club by James Patterson, etc.), I really enjoyed it. The main character owns a vintage clothing store, and the vintage clothes are tied to various sub-plots in the story. In the end, it's a very touching story about friendship, and I have to say, makes me want to visit a vintage clothing shop very soon!

If you're looking for a good book to read this summer, I would recommend it.

Family Update

We are all doing well. Tyler switched schools last year, attending public school for 8th grade. He had a great year, and we've made the decision to move the girls into the public schools this year, too. Tyler will be a freshman next year, and is going to be running cross-country this year. He started training this week, and is off to a great start. Alyssa will be entering the 7th grade this year, and is looking forward to playing volleyball in the winter, and maybe cross-country this fall. Carleigh is entering the 4th grade this year, and is most looking forward to being able to wear fun clothes to school (no uniforms this year!).

We were able to spend 8 days at the lake this month - had a great time relaxing, fishing, tubing, etc. Looking forward to the family reunion at the end of August, and a few more days off before school starts again.
