Where does the time go!

OK, I keep saying I will get better at posting and then two months goes by. I keep asking myself where does the time go. First, we did go on vacation to Minnesota although it wasn't the same this year as my in-laws were in a car accident on the way up and their car was totalled. Luckily, no one was hurt including their dog, Barkley and we were not far behind them so they could stay overnight at our motel and we could rent a car for them. As soon as we got back on July 26, Steven had to pack for camp, he is in a Counselor-in-Training Program and I had to take him to Wisconsin the next morning for the start of his first week of camp. He had a week session with 8 year old boys then came home for the weekend and then I took him back to camp for another one week session with 8 year old boys and then he came back and once more up to Wisconsin or a two week session. This time his cabin included 11 12-year old boys (and he is only 15) but from his postcard he seems to be having a great time and I'll pick him up on Saturday at the end of this session. During the first week he was at camp, I had to get Brynn ready for her foreign-exchange trip to Spain. She was flying to Madrid (her first time overseas) by herself and then the group would take a bus to Granada where she would stay with a host family for 4 weeks. Based on her facebook page and calls, she is having a great time. She goes to the University in the morning for Spanish language, home for lunch with her host mom, siesta time and then they go do things as a group. Yesterday they took her to a ranch outside of Granada where they went horseback riding. Then on August 14th our foreign exchange student from Germany, Fabian came in to O'Hare and we picked him up at noon, then I took him to the HS to register and pay his fees, then shopping for soccer cleats and shin guards and then we let him rest. He had soccer try-outs the next morning and he made the JV Team. So he has been going to soccer practice everyday. We also took him to my husband's company picnic--very American, hotdogs, hamburgers, potato salad and coleslaw and of course watermelon. He is staying with us for the school year. So I will have a Senior, Junior and Sophomore. Should keep me busy! Oh and during this whole time I was in the Survivor Contest over at Ginger Scraps. I made it to the second to final round and then missed the final round by 4 votes. So I am off the island. In my next post, I'll show you some of the LO's. Just wanted to catch you up on things.
