long time

Hi, if anyone is still reading this, that is... My computer is finally back from the shop and just got the internet working again. I have no pictures to add right now but just to update you all just a little bit.
Ben is still in CA on those terrible wildfires out there. Has been gone since the last week of June and will be home (hopefully!) by the end of July. It seems like such a long time since he left, its been a long month but I'm sure its nothing like what it has been for him. We haven't had good cell service so I'm lucky if I hear from him once a week. Took a long time for the fire season to start for him this year but once he went.. wow, a good long one.
The kids are doing well, at least as far as I know =) They are all so busy going about their lives that I figure no news is good news. Hope that everyone is doing well... and surviving the heat! Hope to hear from you all soon. XOXOXOXO Juli
