This is day 3 without power or heat in bitterly cold conditions, but we are hopeful that the worst is over.

I haven't written this yet because I've had so much to day (being lazy) and had so many places to go (staying at home for the past 3 weeks.) So, let's begin the recap!Double BaptismThe first big thing we did this summer was go to a double baptism with our 2 new baby cousins, Mae Catherine and Joseph http://nedandmarybeth.blogspot.com/2025/08/end-of-summer-recap.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492694155713279817.post-736836171193653712Fri, 13 Jun 2025 02:21:00 +00002025-06-12T21:21:55.346-05:00Where to start? John went rappelling and enjoyed the camp's giant zip line today. David won an award for his work in the film merit badge class (photo courtesy of John). I'm sure he'll have a full report when he returns, but for now, I'm going to say that I'm a mama who is crazy proud of her guys.http://nedandmarybeth.blogspot.com/2025/06/big-wins-for-mitchell-boys.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492694155713279817.post-4022967237188328346Thu, 12 Jun 2025 02:04:00 +00002025-06-11T21:09:15.729-05:00Two camps in one day! We dropped off MC and had a mid-week family visit with the boys. We’ll pick up MC on Friday and the boys on Saturday (very early, per David’s request).

I hope you've been starting to get back into reading again because if you haven't, that means you don't understand a thing I'm saying, and it also means I can talk about you behind your back in these posts.

You do? Awesome, now here's a little less known fact. Everyone was alive when the tower was started, and dead by the time it was finished. I know, mind blowing.
