The Official Beginning of Summer

Summer is here! Alyssa boarded the plane on Wednesday for her mission trip, our first summer visitors arrived on Thursday, and Friday was the public school children's last day of school. 

 Our visitors were Bryan, JD's oldest nephew, his wife, Melissa, and their daughter Madison.

Since Madison only has two older brothers out of the house, she was nicely entertained with her crew of cousins. 


On Friday, I attended Selah's Kindergarten program celebrating all they learned.

If Selah sees a camera - she smiles!
  
Then Selah and I had a picnic lunch with the other little graduates.


Now that school is over, our swim practices move from evenings to mornings. After three hours of pool time every morning, we are going to have at least one hour of "summer school". I am compiling individual work for each child in the area or two that they will benefit the most.

 I am hoping that our swim, school and chore schedule will leave enough time for summer interests, but leave little time for excessive electronics or anyone complaining that they are bored!

    I am doing an hour each day with my kiddos as well (in the area they need as well.) Love that she's in swimming! We have a swim team here but my kids aren't in it this year...it's a lot of practice and work and we're gone most of this summer (away from home.)
