I have not a single picture to share - not even sure where cameras or cords are, but I got tired of seeing my last post... So here is the latest update.

Katie went to horse camp. It is frightening how much that kid loves horses. She is doing very well with tacking up her horse and would ride all day if they let her. She got to ride an English riding pony and boy was he fast, but she loved every minute of it.

Maddy then attended the University of Florida diving camp. She did great and had lots of fun, but is contemplating giving up diving - we'll see what happens. She did dive off the 5 meter platform - yes, I did say she DOVE off the 5 meter platform. Not sure I would even jump from it.... But of course Katie had to get in on the act when the coach let her have some fun on the last day. She decided to head up to the 10 meter platform and took a big running jump off. Now I wouldn't even walk up to the 10 meter, much less run up there, much less jump from it....

Besides for the kids, life has been very exciting for the Little's - we put our house on the market and sold it in two weeks and had to be out in another two weeks. I'm going to create my own HGTV show - on how to sell a house even in a REALLY bad housing market. Unfortunately, people probably don't want my advice since it involves losing lots of money, but that is over and done.

So then the homeless folks moved in with the Kreiling family. They are so very kind to take in 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 really big dogs & a camper. It is good to have family that flows with our crazy lives. The funny thing is that the grocery bill seems to increase exponentially with the two families... We normally go through 1 gallon of milk, the Kreilings go through about 2.5 to 3 gallons a week and together we go through more than 6 a week. How is that for new math????

Well I should say almost everyone is getting along well.... Duke seems to no longer like his old buddy Scooter. Sure wish he could talk - he and Scooter used to be the best of buddies, but now Duke just doesn't seem to remember. Unfortunately, Scooter doesn't help matters by not acting like a dog which really pi--es off Duke. When Duke gives him the growl (translation - I'm in charge you better show reverence to me....) Scooter just tries to hide under a chair rather than be submissive to Duke. It is rather funny to see a 90 pound dog slink under a chair to avoid the 35 pound dog.

But the really good news is that Craig accepted a job just yesterday at Roska Direct. Although he is going back, he will be doing a different job this time around - heading up the account team. We were sad not to find a way to stay in Florida, but if we have to move back north, PA isn't so bad. The girls are excited about being able to ski whenever they want to again. I'm excited to be going back to the land of old, cozy homes with character. And the dogs are just excited to not be living where they are allergic to everything and can go outside without fear of heat stroke! :)

Hopefully Tante Amy can come through with some pictures of the cousins having some good summer fun!

I almost forgot- Maddy had her first solo!!!! While the Kreilings were visiting for spring break, Maddy had choir practice. During practice Maddy was telling us how the director asked if anyone was interested in auditioning for a solo. All the kids except Maddy raised their hands. I guess the director never noticed Maddy didn't raise her hand because she asked her to audition and of course Maddy just did what she was asked... After telling us the story, Nick said - wouldn't it be funny if Maddy got the solo since she was the only one who didn't want it. Well guess what - Maddy got the solo... Not sure she was that pleased - but she did an awesome job!
