So I was all pumped

about this week being the last week of school...








or NOT. Turns out that my kids have school through June 5th. That bites. In fact, the last two days are pretty much a waste of time- awards assembly and a half-day of watching movies in class. Yeah. Oh, not that any of the days next week are actually devoted to LEARNING anything, but Tuesday is their annual Field Day [similar to a carnival, but usually outside and the school pays for the rides and stuff]. Monday, well, Monday is another 'let's watch movies' day. sigh. I am so terribly ready for the summer, and our trips, and to have 2 weeks of school after Memorial Day just seems wrong to me. :)
Although to judge by the weather- wet, cold, and rainy every day this week- we're still in early spring...

We had a very wet Memorial Day weekend :). Monday we drove up to Heber to visit Myles' grave, and spent some time geocaching afterwards. And it rained almost all day long. I swear, I felt like I was in Iowa! I haven't had to water my garden at all this week.

If you have a GPS, you now have close to the exact coordinates for our home :) [don't laugh, I had to edit it for national security reasons LOL]. My Mother's Day present was a little GPS unit, and we went geocaching Monday night. We got coordinates for 2, found both of them, and we've got the bug! Since we ended up at a park, we let the kids play 'till it was time to go home. We talked about what Myles would be doing if he were here. It's good to remember, and getting less painful.

And, the other day, someone noticed a toddler in a car and called the police, who broke the window and rescued him. That's the silver lining in our cloud right now.

Memories

I'm sure this will get easier with time. Right now, I am thankful for all the pictures I have that help me remember Myles.

I can't promise to post as often; we're working to find a new daily routine here. But our family has been greatly blessed during the past week and a half. We can feel the prayers and good wishes supporting us all. Thank you. We are more grateful than we can express.
