The post to bring our interactive blog to a new level (and to bring us all home, eventually)

We need to figure out, once and for all, when everyone can make it back home to celebrate my birthday (and Daniel's and Lisa's and Mother's Day). I know everyone has talked to someone about this, but we need to all get on the same page (er...post) here. Hence, I'm listing everyone's name. Edit this post, and next to your name, list the weeks/days that would work best for returning home.

Daniel: (when is Lake Ann?, how about Band Camp? Put those dates in here)
Lisa: (when is your trip to New York? How about Band Camp?)
David: all summer
Janell and Andy: The weekend of June 24th works best for Andy and I, but we could probably do the July weekend if it worked better for everyone else.
Steve and Rachel: we'd definitely be able to make it to Muskegon the weekend of the 24th of June (or the 1st of July) - but going along with the McCann posting, we'd definitely prefer the 24th of June weekend, and then head over to Detroit for Steve's work.
Ben and M.B.P. :My summer's pretty open, at least from mid-June on. I was tentatively planning to come home sometime later in June, whenever Steve and Rachel make it over to Muskegon from New Rock City. I think that's the weekend of June 24 or July 1. Either one looks good for me.

Also, we need to figure out what we want to celebrate. We have lots of things to celebrate, so are we going to have one huge party or lots of little ones? Lots of little ones means lots of cake. That's good. Furthermore, if someone winds up not being able to show up (hence ruining the festivities), one big party means one big pooper. I'd rather stay away from a big pooper. So, here is a list of the things to celebrate. Let's have some dialogue on how we should manage this all.

David's graduation:
David's birthday: Buy gift for Daniel
Daniel's birthday: Buy gift for Lisa
Lisa's birthday: Buy gift for David
David's one month graduatiton anniversary: Does anyone else think this is a bit excessive? I only think it's excessive that "graduation" is so horribly misspelled. Don't they teach Spelling 405 at Wheeton?
Mother's Day:

I thought there was a Father's Day on the calander this year, but I must be mistaken. Maybe it is only on leap years.

Okay - I must be completely inept at this blogging thing - I can't figure out how to "edit the post" with our info on traveling to Muskegon, so I'll just put it in this comment (which I am quite capable to doing all by myself) and one of you techno-freaks can fill in the correct information into the corresponding slot on the post.

Steve and Rachel: we'd definitely be able to make it to Muskegon the weekend of the 24th of June (or the 1st of July) - but going along with the McCann posting, we'd definitely prefer the 24th of June weekend, and then head over to Detroit for Steve's work.

techno-freaks to the rescue!

thank you, techno-freaks! I guess i meant to say "techno-geeks" but either one isn't the most uplifting (sorry). The help, however, is much appreciated. And could you possibly give me a simple procedure to "edit a post" so that I don't have to rely on the technological capabilities of others? That also would be much appreciated.

Must go. Ella is starting to get into trouble.

Rachel, log into Blogger.com as you would if you were creating your own post.

Then somewhere in there you can look at the list of all the past posts, and there are buttons next to each one, aptly named "Edit".
