July 2007: Where are the Roberts?

Let the adventure begin! June 30th marks the first day of Shari’s sabbatical! If you'd like a peak at what we have scheduled for these three months, keep an eye on this space. I am posting our current plans for the summer here and have every intention of posting updates throughout my time off. However, we'll see how well I do. :) I'm a rookie at blogging, but figured there is no better time than my sabbatical to try it out.
