Where is summer going???!!!

It seems like I haven't had much time to post since school let out in May. Things have been busy, busy. I also have been slacking on my picture taking, which is the driving force behind the posts. So, anyway, here's what we've been up to (without photos):

Chandler and Callie spent a week at Camp Ma and Pa. They have a great time with their McMinnville grandparents and Aunt Veronica. Catherine spent the time off running her office, as the boss was out of town. The kids started a summer camp at their preschool the first week of July. It was Callie's first experience at the "big girl" preschool and Mom was nervous. She walked right in and didn't cry. Mom tried not to. Chandler on the other hand, wondered what he was doing back at the preschool that he graduated from in May. I informed him that this was "camp", not "school". They have been having tons of fun and bring home all kinds of projects and artwork. They also started swimming lessons last week with the best teacher ever, Grandma. Chandler is a fish and recently learned how to get rings off the bottom of the deep end. Callie is doing what is asked of her, just not quietly. She is known to sit on the step and sob until it is her turn again. She is doing great, learning how to "reach and pull" and go off the diving board. Grandma will having her swimming before summer is over, whether or not the screaming will cease is another question.

Dave had another birthday last Saturday. We had a fun family day with lunch at Outback, swimming, and then to the Redbirds game. Dave is still doing really well in school. He finished his first summer term with a 100% in his class. We are so proud of him! I am keeping busy being the wife, mother, maid, cook, taxi driver, paralegal, etc. I am a little nervous about my new role of being the mother of a Kindergartner in a few weeks. It seems like Chandler was just born!

So that's the latest with us. I promise to post some new pictures soon!
