Summertime, Summertime





After an admittedly long hiatus, I am back to posting. David and the kids and I went on the first cookout of the season Memorial Day weekend - David was trying to teach Rowan how to grill properly! We had a good time at Marathon Park in Wausau.
Summer vacation began Wednesday afternoon and we have all breathed a collective sigh of relief. Looking forward to long, hot summer days and getting into the pool. But the summer began on a sour note, as our beloved cat Simon has fallen ill with what we now believe to be leukemia. We are still hoping it's a massive system infection that can be cured, but as the days pass and the antibiotics are failing to make a difference, that seems less likely. Then, on Thursday night, we found our little guinea pig, Cheddar, dead in her cage.
Not a good week for small animals around the Flynn household, I'm afraid.
On a brighter note Devon has tried out for the Wausau Conservatory Choraliers, a singing groupu that he is interested in perforning with, and we are anxiously awaiting a letter in the mail to tell him whether he is in our out. I think he has great potential.....but then, I'm awfully biased!
