Duck families...so fun to watch We're almost a 2 solid weeks in to summer break now. Inevitably, I feel like we always go through a slightly bumpy transition period when we shift from school to break or back again. Maybe this is my "fault", for lack of planning or foresight...I'm not sure. I mean, we… Continue reading Getting in a groove/ summer schedule
Hello and happy Wednesday! It's been a while. These last days have been FULL but fun. Asher and I left around 2 pm Friday afternoon for a 3 day swim meet ~1 1/2 hours away (but near my parents' house). He swam right away Friday evening, so we went straight to the pool. We got… Continue reading Whew, I’m back

I am feeling some major "new month" excitement this month, for the first time in a while. Looking back, I actually didn't even write out monthly goals really for April OR May...which, if you've been reading a while, is not really like me. The spring has just been.....a lot. I've mostly just been kind of… Continue reading JUNE goals!
We haven't made too much in way of plans for the summer yet for the kids. The big "anchors" were supposed to be: Ethan- *summer camp with friend (the traditional outdoors kind- canoeing, games, bonfires, swimming, etc.)*local track program*??? Maybe a coding class or day camp or something Asher-*overnight swim camp with best swim friend… Continue reading Disappointment and (semi)resolution
