So, here we are (ok, only 4 of the 6) enjoying what's left of the summer in our pool. We've been battling this crazy pool all summer to keep it blue (notice the green tinge). But it has been a good summer for us. We are still adjusting to the extreme hot weather here in Brentwood. It was 113 degrees last week-Ouch! Ryan has been studying hard to prepare to teach 150 high school students at summer camp. The camp was last week and it went great, but I think it's a relief to have that behind him. I've enjoyed taking the kids from pool party to pool party. We've spent a lot of time with friends, at sleepovers, visiting grandparents and cousins, and trying to squeeze all the fun we can before the kids had to return to school. Gavin is 8-1/2 and jumped off the high dive for the first time this summer and did some kneeboarding behind his grandpa's boat. Delaney is now 6-1/2 and this summer really enjoyed Vacation Bible school and staying at grandma Pam and grandpa John's house in Napa for a week. She got to
spend some time with her old friends there. Liam made the most improvement in his swimming this summer. In June, he refused to stick his head under the water until I told him it would only be "a little bit" scary, not "a lot-a-bit" scary (in his words). He then walked over t
o the edge of the pool and jumped in and went under. It also helped that we bribed him with a Slurpee! After that, he became our daredevil. He blew me away when he jumped off a 5 ft. high rock waterfall at a friend's pool in July. He amazes me at 3-1/2 years old. Caedmon is a joy for our family. He cracks us up all the time. He is very silly and his new nickname has become "little rascal" (notice what his t-shirt says to the left). He already loves to wrestle with his dad and growls and grunts and is very manly for 10 1/2 months old. The kids love him, except when he pulls hair, which is his new favorite pasttime. That and screaming when we put him in his high chair. I guess I can thank the Lord for 9 peaceful months! That's it for the first post. The kids are now back in school (3rd and 2nd grade) and the soccer season has started. We volunteered to coach Delaney's team, The Sharks. We thank the Lord for good health, for safety, for family, for a wonderful church and for the many blessings we have. God Bless!
