Well... my sabbatical starts today: four weeks of no work. I was trying to think of the last time I was not working or going to school for four weeks. It has certainly been a loooonnnngg time (I am old).
Abigail is finished with her spring/summer softball season, as she participated in PONY Nationals July 11 - 14. The Hotshotz had a great season and tournament, finishing 5th.
Bailley is going to finish her spring/summer season next week at ASA Southern Nationals August 1 - 5. Bailley, Abigail, and I will be driving to beautiful (and surely arid and cool) Ridgeland, MS early next week.
Madison will be staying in Austin with Cindy as she has a voice camp to work on all-state competition music. Notice I said all-state and not regionals... she will be starting high school and competing in the high school choir competition.
As soon as we return to Austin... it's off on our grand adventure! First leg is AUS -> ORD -> FCO... Rome here we come. I'm hoping to use this blog as a journal for our trip. I hope I can update it regularly to record details and feelings and happenings as accurately as possible and capture the moments. Maybe the girls can contribute as well. Hopefully it will give everyone a firsthand glimpse into our trip. For now, please cross your fingers for us :)
