July in a nut shell......

I can't believe I haven't updated this for over a month! We've been very busy doing "stuff!" School ended on June 17 and we started right in with swim lessons for Lukas! It was cold mornings for the first two weeks, but that didn't keep our little fish out of the water.

The first week of July, my brother, Brian, and his family from Ohio were at my folks. We spent a lot of time down in Fredricksburg and went to DC one day with the bigger kids. That was a great experience, we take so much for granted when we live so close. We took the shuttle bus around to save the "kids!" from walking but it was great for the parents too. Irving & Sandra gave us the royal tour of the big city!

The second week of July, Isaak brought home a high fever bug from Fredricksburg and missed out on a day of his bowling camp. He started feeling better by the middle of the week and enjoyed every bit of bowling. Lukas was in a soccer camp and Tyler and I kept entertained at the pool. On Wednesday, Lukas caught the fever bug and was pretty miserable for the rest of the week. We spent Thursday night in the hospital, he was dehydrated and they couldn't figure out what was wrong, but ruled out mono, strep, meningitis, and pneumonia. They think it was hand/foot/mouth but it only affected his mouth. He started feeling better Sunday night FINALLY!

Sunday, 7/13, Tim and I celebrated 17 years of marriage. Wow, where have those years gone? This week Isaak started an intense soccer camp from 9 AM to 8 PM. He was very sore the first night and wondered how he could ever go back! Tonight is a big game against the coaches and BBQ for the family.

Tyler woke up this morning with the fever bug, we had to cancel our dentist appointments and he's held down the couch most of the day. He thought kool-aid would help him a lot, so he's been drinking that steady. I'm really hoping his is short lived, we're leaving tomorrow for a week at the BEACH.

So now your up-to-date on the Virginia Clites, I hope to post some beach pictures soon!
