I can hardly believe that summer is over halfway finished! Time just moves entirely too quickly. This has been a strange summer in so many ways....many people have passed away (my neighbor, Jim Metz; Fred Miller to name a few), and others have gotten bad news of horrible health diagnoses. It also seems to be the summer of several of my friends deciding to call it quits with their marriages or experiencing extremely rough patches in their relationships. It's just been a little rough around the edges to say the least. Work is going fairly well....lots of planning and preparing for fall. I'm trying to stay excited about things, but sometimes it just feels like work.
The kids' schedules have finally settled down a bit. Baseball is over, and Jacob had a good year. Playing in the Freshman Legion Allstar game was definitely a highlight. Sylvie had a lot of fun swimming on the Southern Hills swim team this year and managed to place 2nd (out of 62 7 and 8-year-old girls!) in the breaststroke at the Greene County Swim Meet. I will post pics later.
My next goal is to try to find some time to truly relax and enjoy the rest of summer. We've been trying to find time to plan a trip to Chicago to visit some family and have some fun, but so far have not been very successful. It's also time to start planning something exciting for Jacob's 16th birthday (which falls on the first day of school!). I'm hopeful that some happy times are ahead.
