It is summer, people! What a wonderful time of the year to be a kid! Jack's tball season is nearly over, Annalee has started swimming lessons and Ryan's playing tons of baseball and softball. Nighttime activities are keeping us busy!
Jack has been accepted into a full day preschool in the fall, so he is getting pumped for that! Nearly everyday, he asks if he is going to school yet. Not today, little buddy, but soon! I am looking forward to him being in a classroom, learning with kids his own age and gaining some new friendships. I am a little anxious about letting him go, but know it really is the best thing for him. Full day, five days a week is going to fill his brain up with so much knowledge! That being said, the little girl is a little bit jealous that she will not be attending with him. It will be good for both of them, though, to have some time away from one another. My hope is that it makes their love for one another stronger (that happens with siblings, right?!).
We are heading out on a week-long vacation after July 4th, renting a cabin in Wisconsin with some of Ryan's friends from high school. I am looking forward to a summer week away from work, just hanging with my little people. Ryan is looking forward to seeing his old buddies and reminiscing about the old days (they are getting so old!). As soon as we get home from vacation, I am proud to say that Ryan will be starting a new job! He will be working downtown, so will be taking the bus to work most days and it seems like he is looking forward to learning some new tricks and meeting new people.
That's about it. I have tons of things I want to do with the kids this summer, but am being realistic in knowing we probably won't get to them all. We are having a blast just hanging out in the back yard, playing in the littlest pool in the world and throwing the ball for Tippi.
