A week of "vacation" for Jena

We have actually done very well this past year, avoiding the colds and flus that spread like wildfire during the long winter months (extra long this year in Utah.) However Jena did spend the week home this past week with a sinus and eye infection. A mother with kids in high school said that there has been a rash of eye infections at the high school that isn't "pink eye" but connected with sinus infections. I guess that is what Jena has. The sinus infection cleared up quickly but her eyes have stuggled. We are on the second set of eye drops and finally on Saturday we saw some improvement. She hates missing school and YW but she was a good sport. She played WII, read books, and we worked on catching up her journal.

One day when I was at work, she worked on a puzzle in Gary's office.


We are enjoying some sunshine yesterday and got a lot of yardwork done along with most of our neighborhood. After a long winter with snow into May (snowback is over 185% of normal in the mountains), we have now been having rain (especially on Tuesdays when Gary is trying to fit in some outdoors activities for Webelos).

Summer is beginning to fill up with fun activities and two nephews getting married, one day apart in AZ and UT. Exciting stuff.
