It seems like this summer is being spent behind the wheel of a car, behind the baseball diamond backstop, and up in the balcony of IWU's natatorium. Sisi swims---teaching kids in the mornings at Fairview Pool, hanging out with friends at the same pool in the afternoons during summer camp, and twice a week at IWU where she practices with her swim team, The Funky Fish. So named for their coach, Coach Fish. J'dude practices or plays 2-3 times a week, and pitches at least an inning or 2 most games. Last Friday he pitched 4 innings. And I have to say that if he could have pitched all six innings of the game they would have beat that pesky team that they have lost to twice. But at his tender age, 5 innings is the limit and his coach knows that 4 is better for him. And so it goes.
Today, though, we had no swim practice or games in the evening. I finished working this afternoon, came home and took a lovely nap. So perhaps I should have titled this Swimmin', Swingin', and SNORIN' Through Summer. And after my nap I ate dinner, prepared by Ironing Man. Then J'dude and I did the dishes. Now everyone is reading, or at least quietly pretending to do so. I love these serene evenings at home, even as much as I love watching the little people do what they love.

Glad to see that reading is in the summer plan! What is the big favorite for your kids? I loved the Origami Yoda book they recommended awhile back.
Delightful!
