David Wilcox Concert

To console me for getting so old my loving husband took me to see David Wilcox, my favorite folk singer/songwriter in concert. He's more of a storyteller, really, so the concert was fantastic.

Starting School

There is only one day of the year where the kids are up HOURS before they have to be to the bus stop, clean and hair done and even their chores finished. So fun how excited they are for school to start.

 

 

 

Jump!

One of our summer traditions is to take swimming lessons, so for the last two weeks of our summer the kids reported daily to the Hess pool. Em was in level one.
On the last day of classes, the kids wore life jackets and were challenged to jump off the diving board.







She wasn't too excited about it, but finally jumped off when I held her hand











And then, at the last minute before class was over she jumped off by herself!

Working hard or hardly working?

Ben was gone for a week to Alaska for a 'work' trip. I don't know, all I've heard about so far are the ATV's, the wildlife he saw and the hiking he did. The military excels at these sorts of trips, but it still frustrates me since I'm still waiting for that trip to the spa to 'enhance' my working skills!
