We had a fun visit with Abuelo and Barb. Didn't do a whole lot, but those are the best vacations (for me anyway). The girls did go to the hotel pool and swim for a couple of hours...gotta make time for cannonball practice.
Erin has been taking swim lessons from the high school swim coach and she is doing GREAT! She wants to be on the swim team now...she's too young but maybe next year.
Emily has decided to play soccer again this season. She is considering joining the swim team as well.
E has been having cheerleading practices every few weeks. She is interested in the swim team, but there just isn't a way to work it out. She would swim in her last period of school at the high school swim center, then try and rush back to the middle school right after that for cheerleading practice. We are trying to find the best day to go swim laps as a family. I get the feeling all of the girls are going to beat Dad.
Melinda is trying to get things organized for school (not a fun time). She will be teaching half-day and doing her math specialist role for the other half-day. She will share her room with the reading specialist, so she has to make room. Mel is looking forward to the challenge of the new role, but there is going to be a ton of preparation. Her summer may have just ended.
We are preparing for the Erin and Elizabeth's birthdays. Erin is having a sleep-over. E is still deciding. I will try and do better with pictures especially for the parties.
