Nice sunny weather in the 'Ham! Now that we have our pool back (because of the petition we drew up and had everyone sign), the kids and I have been in the water almost every day they're with me.

NMS head off to OR tomorrow for a brief visit with Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. I'll be down there too for work and plan on a rendezvous next weekend.

NMS are a bit dismayed about how fast summer is going by and not exactly looking forward to school, but I hope they'll be more energized and positive about it once it all starts up again - N&M starting Middle School this year!

N&M are also trying out violin and viola, are doing well and enjoying it, and will continue with private lessons. M also wants to go back to drums which I think would be very cool. S still doing well with the piano, and dance classes will start up after summer as well. I know she still wants to do a gymnastics camp this summer as well, so I hope we can still squeeze that in.
