RAFFA SUMMER UPDATE

The Raffa household is still alive.... I realize I am not as up to date as the Conn. Gangwer's are on their blog. Here is the latest news on the RAFFA CLAN:

Dominic and Luciano just returned from spending the week with Gabe's parents in Columbus, Ohio. They were spoiled the entire week with trips to the pool, Sam's Club, and BB shooting. Luciano enjoyed it at their house so much he didn't want to return home. He knew once he returned home, he would be doing chores again!!

Madison just left on Sunday (6/21) to spend 2 weeks with Gabe's brother and sister in law in Chattanooga, TN. She is also enjoying shopping and swimming!!! Her and Alyssa get along great!!! They love to sing, dance, and play store together. We will be leaving the first week of July to pick her up... I am sure she will not want to return home either.

Gabriel is finishing up his summer highschool courses at the Freshmen academy. He is taking PE and Health class in order to get a jump on some of the high school course requirements. His next big summer adventure is to take a road trip with the Raffa Men. Gabe, Gabriel, Pops, Tony, and Phillip will be touring the Philadelphia area - visiting the Eagles and Phillies sports complex and meeting some Raffa relatives for the first time. They are going to have a great time.

You may wonder what Gabe and I are doing with our summer? Gabe is working on some church projects and I am working on some home projects. I am just enjoying the first summer I have had off in 5 years. Working in education has its perks!!! I don't return to work again until late July.

Now, that I have some free time - I may be able to learn how to download pictures to my blog.... I like when people put pictures on their blogs, so I will try to do that next time.
