Summer Winding Down

JC finished swim team this week. He made such great progress. He shaved almost 8 seconds off of his breast stroke and about 6 off his freestyle. He made it to the consolation round for breast stroke in championships this week. They had a little party and he received the most improved award....which he ironically also received after his first Middle School season. One of the parents who has been around swimming a long time said he has just made such tremendous progress and said we really need to keep him in the pool. We are looking at options, but most range from 700-1200 and are year round! We have one option that is a short fall pre-season, so we are looking into whether he is old enough for that. Let's hope!

Baseball evaluations for fall ball are next week....hard to believe. It feels like we just finished spring ball. JM is doing a lacrosse camp in a few weeks to try it out. Figured he needs to see if he likes it before we spend the money on equipment!

I got a full-time job at the elementary school as a TA for math/literacy support, so I am less than excited than ever for summer to end! We have been gone so much this summer that it seems we are now just relaxing. The pool pass has been great with these horribly hot days. We have just had constant heat this summer.....more 90+ degrees days than ever! Been really trying to catch up on the scrapbooking before school begins. I'm not too far behind....just finishing up Christmas of 2009. Could be worse!
