"The Army Is Your Mother and Father!"
That is a quote from Bill Cosby on one of his comedy 
routines and it sure works in this case. We didn't get any phone calls this Sunday from James and in thinking about it, he hadn't started Basic Training yet when he wrote that he would be able to call on Sunday's. We are eager to hear about the boys in this picture, how fun (?) it is, how tired he is, if it's hot or just what. Weather.com has been saying it's in the low 80s which doesn't sound too bad but I don't know how the humidity makes it feel.

Smell Ya Later / Update
Sonia beat me to it so then I really procrastinated doing anything about the family Bon-Voyage (aka Smell-ya-later) party for James. I really like these pictures. It was a good party with Shawn's birthday and dad's Father's Day thrown in.We got a call from James on Saturday
but being in the mountains (coming home from the Ward Campout), no sooner did I say 'hello' and the call was dropped. When we got home James had left a message that he would call Sunday if possible (didn't happen), that he was there in Ft. Leonard Wood, would start actual BT on Monday (he has been in 'reception') and to write when we get the address. My guess is it has been a long week with no communication but lots of waiting.

Campout
This last week we were able to find some time to camp on
the new property. James had wished he could get at least one camp but there just wasn't time until... we learned that school was out on Thursday instead of Friday! We were able to take advantage of this little window of opportunity so James could sleep under a rock.
Dad and I slept in his new tent. It's the perfect girls camp tent because all the sides zip down leaving mesh screening to keep out the bugs and so you can see if any girls are trying to short-sheet your sleeping bags! It's nice and spacious. Besides the bed we set up, we got in three camp chairs and a make-shift table for dad's little DVD player where we all watched a movie. It had been cold, rainy, and windy back home but we drove right out of it and had a nice time.
