Summer was long and glorious, but sadly, has come to an end. We spent a sticky 10 days in Nicaragua doing all sorts of fun things: finding enormous bugs, digging tons of grass away from a baseball warning track, swimming in the warm, salty lago, getting worked by 9 year old soccer teams, playing balderdash with missionaries, creating the least creative balloon animals in the world (centiron, espalda, sombrero?), and more. Shiloh even gave a talk to all the little nicaraguenses who showed up for a youth group meeting.
Back in Davis, Shiloh bucked down (between BBQs, basketball games, golf...) and started looking for a job. He's now technically certified to mold and influence little brains in to history, math or spanish geniusi, but chose a different route. After only a month of searching, he landed a studly job as a Deputy District Attorney in Yuba County. What does that mean? He has entered the real world and summer vacations are over forever. Today he finishes week one of his daily treks to Marysville to solve crime. Don't you just feel safer?Sam has been relishing her stress-free summer, though keeping busy with gardening, scrapbooking, laying by the pool, and other not-so-demanding tasks. Today marks the end of her first week back to work for Staff Orientation, and her last week of semi-freedom before the kiddos come pounding at the doors, dying to sit quietly in their seats and soak up as much math and physics as possible. (Yeah right.)
