So I believe that I will give this blog thing another shot. I started it a year ago, but couldn't figure the technology out; therefore, after about two hours of playing on the blogger tonight...I think that I have it. So, here goes...
On Friday, we decided to take our first trip to the zoo of the summer and it was hot. McKenna was extremely fired up about riding the ponies by herself. She insisted that she needed no help
getting on or riding. I guess at the age of seven she is becoming more independent than what I am ready to accecpt. She loved the zoo and is looking forward to going back. Even Doug was impressed by the new African Journey part and the Sky Safari ride. He thought it was hilarious that the hyenas decided it was mating season on the day that we happened to be there. Not many mothers thought this was so neat as they were shoving their children away from the windows. (It was quite humorous!!) McKenna was a little sad because we had lots of tokens left but decided not to wait in the long line for the train. We will be returning to the zoo in another week with my brothers and their families when they come for the July Fourth weekend. We are all looking forward to their visit.

On Saturday, Allison played in the Fort Wayne Area High School Invitational at the Fort Wayne Country Club. She shot a 78 to win the tournament for the second year in a row. We are very proud of her for winning this. The Journal Gazette had a nice article in the paper about the tournament; unfortunately, they put a picture of someone else with her name attached to it in the paper. (Many have given her a hard time about the weight that she put on from the picture.) I called the paper on Sunday and they made the correction in this mornings paper.
Doug had an interview today for a math job at any of the LEAD schools in FWCS. We are hoping that we will hear in the next few days whether or not this pans out. In the meantime, he is pursuing other options around the area in case something doesn't work out. Please pray that they call and offer him a job at Wayne, North Side, or South Side!
Lucky for you that are reading this, I have figured this blogging out. Stay tuned for more about what is going on in our lives.
