home work

I'm going to use the pool as my excuse for a complete - drop off the Earth - lack of blogs in the past weeks. In truth we have been having a pile of fun with friends in the pool and hot tub. It was just this past weekend that Cody finally turned down the heat. Now the kids head back to indoor swimming lessons and train for the adventures next summer will bring.

Let's catch up:
- So we've opened and pretty much closed the pool.
- The kids swimming is amazing. And they've become terrific snorkelers as well.
- We've made it through first day school jitters and are steadily seeing happy and social kiddos.
- I joined the PSSC - Parent School Support Committee.
- I got a job and I started that job!
- Elliott started gymnastics.
- Kate started a dance class.
- Cody is under 177 pounds - woohoo!
- Kate and Elliott are doing and loving homework. I'm making up more work because they're blowing through it so quickly.
- Kate's reading is coming along in leaps and bounds. It's the most beautiful progress I've ever witnessed.

Two thumbs up from Mr. Jr. Jorgensen showing off his excellence in behaviour award.

Tomorrow marks the kids' first Terry Fox Run. A few tears were shed from Cody and me explaining the beauty of that man and the celebration that they'll be taking part of tomorrow. Do us proud guys.

See you later September. Hello October.
