Matt and Maria are busy enjoying their first American summer. They just adore swimming and cannot get enough time in the pool. Matt can keep himself afloat in the pool with no problems. He just needs to learn the strokes. Maria is starting to be more comfortable in the water and starting to keep herself afloat. She has more to learn. We plan on enrolling them in lessons in July. June has also been busy with sports camps.
Maria participated in Volleyball and basketball camps. She enjoyed both activities, but she will tell you that she likes basketball better. Of course, she is in Indiana. Matt had basketball camp two weeks ago. He won the passing contest and came in 3rd in the free throw shooting contest.
He adapts easily to any sport. Both children are playing tennis in July and on a soccer team in the fall. They cannot wait to officially play a soccer game.
Maria turned 10 on Wednesday, June 20th. As always, the Uhrig child having the birthday picked the dinner menu for the day. She asked for Polish sausage, french fries, broccoli and Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake. We all enjoyed the meal and the day. She liked opening presents. We even gave Matt a present, so he did not feel left out.
Luke is in China on a mission trip. Today, we spoke to him via a satellite phone in church. The kids are still wondering how we saw Luke on the screen at church and when will he ever stay home. One time Maria asked if Luke lived at school because she seldom saw him.
Our phone bill was higher this month but I can report that the random dailing has stopped. We are happy for that and no broken fingers.
