Here is our first official post, and hopefully the first of many. We decided to set up this blog so people could log on and read about what's going on in our lives, and comment if they feel like it. So...here it goes.
As Josh said yesterday, "I can't believe school starts in three weeks." Where has the summer gone? I've spent much of my time at meetings, conferences, classes or school doing curriculum work. I see myself spending a lot more time at school in the next few weeks, as we have to hire a 5th grade teacher before the start of the school year. Josh taught summer school during July, and is finishing up his summer work for the 10Sped program.
The girls have had a good summer. Ellie took swimming lessons at the Holmen Aquatic Center. She was a little jumpy after the first few, and refused to go under. We talked it up for a few days, and now she's virtually fearless. She jumps off the side, goes under, and even does an exaggerated nose plug and submersion while plucking toys from 6-inches of water. We went to Pop and Ruth's last weekend, and once again she was swimming like a fish. She couldn't touch, so we fastened on the life jacket and let her go. She was jumping in and swimming all over the place.
Jaymeson is continually growing. She's rocking the growth charts at nearly 18 lbs (75% in her age group) and just about 24 inches (50%). She started swimming lessons last night at Gundersen Lutheran. She did awesome, and even got a little dunk from the instructor! Not a tear was shed. We've discovered that she's a much more mellow swimmer than Ellie was. Ellie rarely cried, but was a big splasher and kicker, and Jaymeson just chills. Lays on her back and just enjoys the water. It is very funny.
We'll do our best to keep you posted (no pun intended) on what's going on in our world.
