The countdown has begun! Today is my last Monday with students. It is always a bittersweet end for me because on one hand, I get to spend the summer days with Carly. On the other hand, another year has gone by, and rather quickly I might add!

Yesterday we celebrated my father's 70th birthday! Carly had a great time spending the weekend with her grandparents, aunts and uncles, and of course, her cousins! We surprised my Dad by having everyone meet at church where we had pews designated for our family. Some of his brothers and sisters were able to make it, making mass even more special. The priest also gave a special birthday blessing for him and his achievement.

We then went to famous "Fuzzy's" in Saginaw. Vice President Biden ate there recently and loved it. Everyone had terrific meals but we were trying to save room for Frankenmuth Zehnder's.

At Frankenmuth we shopped and had a celebratory chicken dinner. Grandpa even had a special cake waiting for him. Everyone was stuffed as we headed back home. Happy 70th Birthday, Dad!
