- Ty shared about the book he is reading this summer. Check out his comments on last week's blog. It may be something you would like to read.
- Sarah reported that their new house still isn't finished. :( I hope that it is ready for them soon, so they can enjoy it before school begins again.
- Bobby sounds like he has been REALLY busy. He went to the State High School Baseball Tournament with his cousin and grandparents. He went to his cousin's 8th grade graduation at The Lexington School. Then, he saw X-Men. Bobby also helped with Savanna's tea party for her teachers. He has gone shopping with his mom. Finally, he has been hanging out with his friends playing basketball, Nintendo 3DS, iPad games, playing tennis, and going to the pool. Oh my goodness, I'm tired just from reading about Bobby's summer.
Last week, I reread the novel The Giver.

The story is about Jonas, a twelve year old boy, who lives in a perfect community with the perfect family. It is one of my favorite books and my language arts class will be reading it after Christmas. Also, it will be released as movie in August and the Lexington Children's Theater will be performing it next year.
This weekend, Mr. Gutteridge smoked a brisket and we had some friends over to watch England play Italy in the World Cup. England didn't win, but luckily it is only group play. This means that the 32 teams are divided into 8 groups and you have to play each team in your group first. The top two teams from each group move on to the second stage. From this point, it becomes a single elimination tournament (like the Final Four). I have two teams that I'm following England and Team USA. It would be great if they both advance to the second stage.
