Home for the Weekend

I am glad to say really there is not to much to report. My fieldwork in Thermopolis is going good and we are heading into week 4. YEAH! Needless to say Ken is holding down the fort nicely and believe it or not I have no complaints. During the week after I get off from my site I go to the hot springs pool for and aerobics workout two nights, then I use the facilities wellness gym and work out two days a week. This is how I keep myself from getting depressed from being away from the family. I have learned so much in the following 3 weeks and really realized that even with all the academic education I am not ready to be on my own just yet.

Liz so far this summer has hung out with friends and started in the new youth ministries at church. She is loving this. This current week she is on a missions trip in South Dakota (Wounded Knee Reservation). They do not have phone service there except for emergencies. Guess what kind of call we got......yep it would be my kid who got the flu:) She is doing fine and has stuck it out but they made her call just we had a heads up. Liz also got a letter in the mail just before leaving stating she was accepted into another year of Casper Youth Orchestra playing her trombone. This was awesome!!

Mikaela has spent the summer lounging around the house. She goes to the movies with Riley and Christy once a week and had a sleepover with them this last week. She spent this week with dad trying to get the exterior house painted. This is not an easy task living in WY where the wind blows 350 days of the year. She has been a big help. Mikaela has even admitted to missing her big sister this week. Gymnastics continues and both girls head to Grandma and Grandpa Lights house on the 22nd to spend two weeks with them and their aunt and uncle and baby cousin Olivia.

Ken had the week off this week and as stated tried painting the house. I will keep you posted on this job.

I hope everyone is doing well...as the Anthony household still stands and no knock outs just yet!!!!
