This may have been our busiest month ever! But it was much better than busy - it was great all the way around. Here's how it went.3-5 Kim and I were invited to present a Marriage and Family seminar in Montreal, Canada. This is a place and people we know well and were happy to go there again. There were no field trips this time (inside joke) but it was good to see Guido again! (Another inside joke!) Thanks to Nana and Pawpaw for keeping the kiddos.
8 We entered the world of Teenhood! Molly turned 13 and was treated to a surprise party (does she look surprised?) to celebrate the special occasion. 
9 We had another important birthday - Nana's! Happy birthday Mom!
10,11 I accompanied Kyle and a bunch of other students to Cinncinati for an overnight trip to the Newport Aquarium http://www.newportaquarium.com/ and King's Island http://www3.paramountparks.com/kingsisland/#actions. This was a reward to the select group of students who scored very high on last year's standardized tests. Way to go Kyle!
11 Blake was in his Kindergarten play starring as a stuntman. He is 2nd from the left in the pic. Blake had a great year and is rarin' to be in 1st grade. Well...not exactly rarin', but ready anyways.
13 We celebrated the love we have for our Mothers!
15-28 Keith Blackburn and I went on a mission trip to Zambia (via Johannesburg) and Ukraine.
It was a very successful and completely uneventful trip. Quite amazing considering the "numbers". Here they are:
