Catching Up



Things sure have been busy since school ended.  So busy that I have not been able to keep this blog updated.  Where to begin.....

Grace's dance recital was held the weekend after school let out.  She was only in one number this year since she only took Pom class.  The best part this year was that she got her year end trophy on stage since this is her 5th year of dance.  Unfortunately she has decided that she is over dance and will not take classes next year.


The weekend after that was my Administrative Professionals Conference.  This is the event that I coordinated.  After 10 months of planning I was so glad for it to be here and of course be over.  The evnt went well and everyone seemed to enjoy the seminars and programs.  I was excited that my chapter won the Best Website award - seeing as I am in charge of our website, I had a reason to be happy.

Once that settled down, it was time for Adam to start swimming lessons.  He loves the pool and we figured it was time for him to learn how to swim.  He did great at his first class.  He was enthusiastic and jumped in with both feet (literally).  This was a big change from when Grace took lessons.


Last week we got to have a long weekend for the 4th of July.  Both David and I had off Thursday and Friday.  We spent the 4th just hanging around the house.  That night we enjoyed the fireworks in the neighborhood - sure fireworks are not legal in NC but our neighbors don't seem to pay attention to the rules.  We just found a spot in our yard and watched.  The kids played with sparklers and had fun.


The rest of the weekend we did our usual errand and things and made our first trek to the neighborhood pool.  It's been open since May but we haven't had time to go.  Adam had a big time at the Kids Waterpark area and after passing the swim test, Grace enjoyed the big pool.


The next fews weeks will be quiet and then we are off to the beach the first weekend in August.  We can't wait.  Until then........
