Start of Summer

Summer has begun, and it's awesome.

This is the first summer which I have stayed at our own home for the majority of the season.  Typically I go to Bama for a month or two, or like last year when we went to Idaho for 6 weeks.  But Matt is home with us for the first time in 4 years, so we must stay!  And, to tell the truth, it's nice to stay in our own place, and go at our own pace.

Our time has been filled with playing, and swimming, and reading, and playing, and swimming… and swimming, and swimming, and swimming.  Sometimes a bike ride or two if it's not too hot, so those must be done before 9am.  

I like the what we're doing so far.  Lots of family time, with some school refresher workbooks in-between.

Overall: so far, so good!


And now to a bunch of photos from the boys' swim lessons.  Wow, those were worth it!  So much confidence and knowledge learned in just a week.  They are all "deep end" swimmers now!  Holy. Crap.
