Short update

Where to begin???

Well, school legally ended for my kids in May! We still had some things I wanted them to finish, but officially, our 175 days are done! I'm really pleased with the kids and my work this year. Everyone made significant progress and finished well..... and we still like each other, too!

These last few months have really been consumed with Kendra's activities. Recital and track meets have kept us going. All the time and driving around is a sacrifice; but we are so proud of her accomplishments that it is fun to be a part of them, too.

Last Sat., I played for a wedding and then attended a homeschool graduation. I thought the graduation was unique and awesome. It was so individualized and marked such a personal achievement on the entire family's part. Very touching and also encouraged us on our path.

So much busy-ness this last month; it's hard to even know where to begin. When school ended, I had a hard time even figuring out which project to do first! My head was spinning. SO, I did what any true ADDer needs to do..... I made A LIST. After losing the first few lists, I finally taped it onto the cupboard door. And, one by one, I'm crossing things off. It's a great feeling.

Tonight I went jogging with Kendra.... after she worked out on her own. Well, let's just say this puddle of goopy flab huffed and puffed her way for a mile.... LOL... I decided to test myself and figured the faster I go, the sooner I am finished.... Thankfully, I did make it, but felt like barfing afterwards.... It's a start.

Before I close, Pam, if you read this, I love reading your blog! I think your house looks so cool and am looking forward to sitting down at your table for a visit.

Hi Carla!

I love that - "after losing the first few lists, I finally taped it to the cupboard door." I can really see that! I have to do that too! :)

It sounds like Kendra is doing really wonderful in her activities. Please give her my encouragement about track and the upcoming cross country season this fall! :) And let her know that a month long break from running this summer isn't going to hurt her. You guys must have a really wonderful relationship - running together at night and so on. I hope that one day I will have such a relationship with my daughter and/or son. Or plural kids. :)

Lots of love from Mike & Tegan :D
