The last week before band starts

Andrew and the kids arrived home last evening.  I always much prefer when we are all under the same roof.  Andrew was so pleased with how the kids had been on the trip.  He kept telling me how wonderful they had been and how much he enjoyed having them around.  They really are awesome.  And just as a reminder that they are growing and aren't little anymore, my "little" guy heaved a box I couldn't even budge an inch out of my vehicle and carried it to the garage.  I purchased a hammock as an early birthday gift for Andrew, and Thomas couldn't wait to begin putting that together today with his dad.

Catherine is baking brownies today for the church community dinner.  We can't go because of a meeting here at the house, but I had offered desserts.  I appreciate knowing that I can turn the task over to her, because she isn't little either.  Next week a college visit is scheduled, just in case I need a reminder that she isn't little.

We are also getting things ready to ship to Robert this week.  The military "owes" him a move, and it happens Friday.  We are sending much of his stuff to him since he now has his own apartment.  The stuff remaining here is really just going into storage in our garage.  He doesn't really live here anymore.

Band begins next week, and band camp is the week after that, then the next week is August.  Even though I am seeing school supply sales and I know our calendar is becoming more scheduled, I am soaking up lovely days with my family while I can!
