A great weekend in Maine with the fam.Went to york Beach Animal kingdom and amusement park. Tommy is going to Washington DC with his 8th grade class. I am so worried but I had to let him go. I can't keep him in a bubble forever. His grandfather paid for the trip so I had no excuse. Thanks grampa Dunham.I can't believe my baby will be a freshman in High school next year. This Last 10 years has really been filled with a lot of ups and downs. Let prayers be that we continue to have lots more ups then downs. Em and Pat are really growing tall and are almost as tall as me at age 10. I guess they take after their fathers side.My sister in law is 6' tall.Tommy won't get past 5' 11" so the Doc says. We'll see.I think Em & Pat at this rate will grow over 6'. Well, more updates later. Enjoy your summer.....Lisa
