News of Late
Well the paternals just left and I got ZERO pictures on account of I spent most of the time walking around in pajamas and a bad mood. I have a sinus infection. But, despite my attitude, Nanny & Grampy stayed around for the entire planned visit and kept the kids while Brian and I worked last week. THANK YOU!!! (I'm sure Nanny will send me some fantabulous pics soon.)
Friday was Brian's last day as a 4th grade teacher. He will be moving back to the middle school level next year, teaching 6th grade science. This is likely to make our entire family happier. Now he is off for the summer and my real work is just beginning. Summer school begins for me tomorrow and I'm teaching an overload in order to make more money so I can expand our square footage by screening in the back porch. It's all about the money in my field. And it's all about the space in my house.
And now the important stuff:
- Sam is now sitting up unaided! This is so much more fun than rolling round, I'm sure.
- Brian is on a 5k kick. He did his first one today. I'm still in training. I'm using the Couch to 5k program with great success. Meaning that I've successfully printed the training schedule.
- Last but not least, John-John has now lost his SECOND baby tooth! The Tooth Fairy was equally frugal this time around, and I noticed that he put both of the quarters into his "saving" (rather than "spending" or "giving") jar. He's such a good boy.
OUS,

Station 6 Swimmer
John graduated from station 5 last week and is now over halfway to a place on the swim team (station 10 is the highest)!
He has mastered freestyle swimming with a breath every 3 strokes. Now it's on to backstroke. How can it be so difficult to wet and shampoo the hair or a child who has mastered this level of water sport? Sheesh.
