of summer vacation is drawing near? It seems like my kids are<br />
just getting settled into their “relaxed” schedule consisting of<br />
fewer demands and no bedtime curfews. So far, a recap of new<br />

their masterpieces! And our exposure to theater this summer<br />
started with our pastor Jeff Gannon incorporating a series of<br />
