Back from vacation. I just spent the past couple of weeks with one of my kids at various church related functions. First we went to a state talent competition, where he got a second place award in mathematics (I don't know why they consider math test taking a talent...)

Then, we spent nearly a week in Illinois, at a Bible competition:

where he didn't do so well, but says he had a great time.
This week, the same son has some high school band work and church camp, then when he returns from camp, his band marches in the local Independence Day parade.
