Busy Week

'Tis the season, I suppose. We've had so many functions over the past week -- Grand Old Day, end of the year school picnic for Taylor, ice cream social, neighborhood gatherings, work functions,graduation open houses, and hunting for track shoes at MOA today ....and those are the only the ones I can remember off of the top of my head! But it looks like things are going to be winding down by the end of this coming week. Taylor will start her track & field on Monday. That will be three days a week this summer, swimming will be on the other two days a week for both Taylor and Ian starting next week, and Ian will have t-ball on Mondays. As crazy as that may sound, it's all scheduled to take place after 5pm in order to allow for some much needed sleeping-in for the kids and going to beach during the day.

Taylor's last day of school will be this Wednesday. She and I took a long bike ride tonight and stopped at the lake to talk for a while. She's understandably sad to see this school year coming to an end since she will not be continuing with the program she is currently enrolled in next fall. Any phone calls or emails of support this week that we can offer her might brighten her mood a bit and help make it a little easier for her. The kids and I are also planning to spend the first full day of summer vacation at Como Town on Thursday! That should help a little, too.

Quick updates on a few things:

* Taylor's fish are doing very well and are growing every day!
* Ian has made it very clear that butterflies are a hit in Ianland
* This is very scary!
* I got to do the electric slide this weekend!! :) (Even scarier to witness than the item above, just ask the neighbors)

This is Horton! He is being puppysat by our next door neighbors & he is the same age as Toby
Panod is playing a new game that we learned while at our neighbors graduation open house last night.
