From Ben:

Hi everyone.  The corn is up and the garden seems to be doing great.  The lilacs, rhododendron and bulbs had a good year, but it's all come and gone.  Just a few iris and peonies and bleeding heart holding on.

Paul has settled in for the summer, working two jobs again.  We'll be wrapping up the school year with David and Sylvia this week.  David is getting some kind of award in a few days - we'll have to see what it is.  We're hoping he's ready for the leap to high school.  We had a grueling CSE meeting for Sylvia, but she is a willing and conscientious student.

Can't wait to see the new babies.  I thought about doing a Gavett Blog poll on whether Andrew Weiner should resign (I say he should get censured out), but I decided to stick to less controversial subjects.

Love Ben
