Summertime...and the livin' is easy...

Mostly anyway! Sorry for the long delay in my posts! Let's see what's happened since I last updated... school is out for summer! YAY! My wonderful assistant Christy basically packed the room herself (she's unbelievable!) We hope our portable (or as we like to call it "the cabin") will be coming soon so we can set it up well before staff development days. I had such a great year working with Christy and Susan and look forward to another great one in "the cabin"!

Both kids are swimming every Monday night and Jaxon has advanced to the next level, Nitro 2. This is good news as it means he's made good progress, but bad news too because now instead of them having lessons at the same time and knocking it out in 30 minutes, they have classes back to back. But, it's worth it and they both have become little fish- even Marley, who was terrified at first, is comfortable in the water now. :) Jaxon had a week of tennis and we may sign up for more. We haven't started Marley in dance yet, but I think I've found a place and we'll go check it out soon.

We keep going back and forth about moving... should we move now because of the unwanted neighbor while interest rates are low? Or wait a year or two, when we could afford more? Do we want a little land and an older house or build in a new neighborhood? I'd like to be closer to school, but can't really find what I like for the $ nearby. There are houses I love in a newer neighborhood, but not a real sense of community there. We could live in a smaller section of a really nice community, but it's 20-25 minutes to school (and we'd be the poor folk in the neighborhood for sure!) What to do, what to do... We're going to finish getting the house ready and put it up on the market. It's a "wait and see" thing...

We just got back from a week in Napa, California for a family wedding. It was nice and not our usual scene, so it was a fun vacation. Who'd have thought a wine and cheese picnic would be so fun? The kids stayed behind with my parents in San Antonio- so my parents had the anti-vacation! :) They entertained the kids EVERYDAY- swimming, Incredible Pizza, and Six Flags for goodness sakes! Plus the trips to the store for more toys (you know, these poor kids have nothing, ha ha!)

So fun for all this summer. We've got to plan Jaxon's birthday party too- he'll be 6! Wow! Anyway, I'll try to do a better job keeping you posted!
