for the summer, we were extremely lucky to get a paid internship for the summer....in green bay. it wasn't the most ideal, BUT, if it wasn't in madison, green bay is the second best place. green bay is about 2 hours away, and that is where sam's great aunts all live (on the oneida rez). so, the great thing about an internship in green bay...no paying double rent. the downside...being without sam for the weekdays. but it really isn't too bad. it's only for ten weeks, june and july. the kids and i have scheduled baseball and ballet, plus lots of other fun activities to pass the time before our "fun fridays" come around...and daddy is home! for the weekend at least. but really, i can't complain.
here is our daddy sam....right after his reckless long boarding escapade down a steep hill. he had turned to look at me, like a child knowing he's about to engage in mischief, right before heading down the hill. as our eyes met...i prayed - hard! and luckily, he only climbed back up the dangerous hill with some scrapes and bruises. so here he is, showing off his battle wounds...my fearless indian man. ;)
for the summer, he is staying with our cousin, sheila and great aunt rita. they've been kind enough to open their doors to him. :) so while there, he gets to help out with gardening, cleaning, heavy lifting, and things of that sort.
he's having lots of fun reconnecting with the oneida family and making new friends to ball with. i guess they all get together with their families and have bbq's while the men play ball and the women watch and cluck on the sidelines, and the kids all play together. ;) it sounds like great fun.
