Misc. Family Update

Lilly is about to turn 10. That's right, 10. She's going to be a pre-teen and she's all excited about it. Freaks me out. But, that's okay. She's playing softball and Jackson is coaching. So we're spending lots of time at the ballpark. It's pretty fun, though. Quentin is a handful but thankfully, we've got lots of family at the games to wrestle him (thanks Bama!). And so far it isn't insanely hot. I'm sure that'll change soon...

We're making plans for Colorado. Since we didn't go last year, we're even more anxious than usual to get there. Looks like we've settled on July 18 - 26. Kay, Jack and their friends are coming in as we're headed out. We're soooo ready.

Hey, Girod family - let's start a way to tell each other about our visits at the cabin this year. Maybe through the blog Natalie set up? It would be fun to have all our stories from the summer in one place. For those of you going before us, it would be cool to hear what all you did, what new stuff did you discover, what supplies do we need to bring, etc... What do you all think? We could set up a Facebook group, actually, then we'd be able to share photos and other stuff. Think about it...

Otherwise, things are pretty quiet around here. Lilly finished fourth grade. She and Quentin will be staying with Kay and Jack this summer and I'm sure spending lots of time with my parents at the creek. (which, by the way, is turning out SO cool. They've built a cabin and it's really cool. We stayed there during Memorial Day weekend. Can't believe I forgot to take pictures! I will do that soon). Quentin will stay with Jack and Kay full time this fall, as well. We're so thankful! My parents have enjoyed keeping him the past year but they're moving and traveling and all sorts of things. We're so appreciative they were able to keep him this first year. What a blessing! He's spoiled rotten, but that's okay. :)

Jackson has completed 'constuction' of his screenprinting operation in our garage... so if you need any t-shirts, you know who to ask. He's got a few big jobs coming up, so that is great news.

Well, I think that's it for now. Can't believe I didn't update this for a month! I'll do better... Love ya!

(not sure what happened to the color here...)

Great idea, Andrea. I like adding to the Gelly's Gang blog, since I don't navigate Facebook very well--or at all. I'll need lessons.
Crazy, even though I see you guys frequently, I always check the blog!
