Tidbits

Since returning from our journey up north, we've pretty much just laid low. Lots of playing at home or at the pool. We went to the aquarium last week with some friends and saw the new dolphin show. Enjoying the last few weeks of summer before Curly starts kindergarten. I get teary eyed typing that word. I just can't believe it is happening already. She's too little to go to kindergarten right? She was just a baby yesterday.

About to see the dolphin show

Curly is having a little difficulty with this non structured end of summer. Throughout June she had swim team practice each morning. We had a routine each day. Since returning home from Minnesota, Curly is going a bit stir crazy. Each morning she asks me "What are we doing today?" "Who are we going to see today?". If I tell her we are just staying home or running errands she is extremely disappointed. Needless to say, Curly has zero anxiety about starting kindergarten. She will welcome the structure, the socialization, the excitement, the learning, and basically everything else school brings to the table.

The Bear is pretty much status quo. She still loves her milk, has no interest in eating much food, refuses to swim without her floatie, can spend hours working puzzles or coloring, and often pretends to be some kind of animal for hours at a time. She will be starting preschool at the end of the month.

Pat finished his summer semester with a 4.0. We are very proud of him and very excited his school is out through August. His summer schedule was AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. He's halfway through his MBA program. This time next year will be be celebrating his graduation. Woo Hoo!
