It has been a blurr of a summer. I actually got burnt out of the frenzy of activity right at the start. I was hiking at 6 am, running with a friend, then hiking again at 4 pm. Somedays I would throw in a tennis match or a bike ride. Since I was free from my teaching responsibilities and the nice summer weather, I thought I MUST GET OUTSIDE. However, anything excessive is bad for me. I was too exhausted to enjoy my husband or children at night. So, after some time of prayer, I began to balance my days.
Monday days: Library (volunteer for an hour while the children read)
Monday nights: Mountain Bike Riding/class with the children
Tuesday/Thursday: Hike Lazy mountain or anything vertical
Wednesday : knit like crazy (yes, I learned how to knit this summer). Meet with Tamera discipleship
****Running and random adventures with wonderful people sewed in the rest of the time.

Sundays: Children's church has had a great time with a MISSIONS Emphasis. I have a great group of volunteers that serve well and love Jesus. Such a joy to teach worship songs to children (even though I don't have a voice).
Answer from photo above: Inspired by friends, I made a garden box. Now I have fresh spinach, radish, and carrots!

the video is classic-"Oh James, its been a video all along!" Crack me up-reminded me of my time kayaking with you guys--that is my fave experience in Alaska to date! I LOVED it. Looks like you are having a wonderful summer--I want to see a finished pic of your beautiful garden box! :) Hope Family Camp is going well--love you!
