Hard to believe, school starts for Benjamin three weeks from Monday. I have to say, this has been a wonderful summer, but seems to be coming to a close way too quickly. I can really tell a huge difference in the way I've felt this summer than in years past. It has enabled me to do so very much with the boys this year. We've packed our weeks with lots of play dates, trips to the pool or splash pad, library story times, many movie theater visits (our theater has a great summer movie program Tuesday and Thursday mornings...we haven't missed too many shows), and just great family time.

One thing the boys have been trying to decide on is what type of activities they want to participate in for the upcoming school year. We've always tried to keep after school activities to a minimum, since Benjamin also has therapy one day a week after school. This past April, Benjamin was actually discharged from Physical Therapy. We expect that the exact same thing will be happening with his Occupational Therapy at the end of August as well. This will do HUGE things for our schedule! Yay! Our days of driving all the way to Temple for therapy are coming to a close...hard to believe after doing this for several years now.
Jonathan is wanting to start gymnastics in the fall (haven't been there since B's arm break) and he's wanting to do winter Soccer starting in January. Benjamin has decided that he wants to pursue more swimming (if you had told me this a year ago, I would have fallen over). We've found a place that does year round swimming (of course, it's all the way in Temple: same song, second verse), but it comes highly recommended by our new babysitter (who is on the swim team at Ellison). It's a Blue Dolphin Swim School and we're thinking we may be visiting there once a week with our little Michael Phelps. Benjamin is also thinking about doing Boy Scouts with the group at his school.
So, with what little time we have left, we are squeezing every last drop out of summer that we can. Here's the rest of our swimming lessons photos. Looks like we may be seeing the pool quite often with Benjamin this year! ; )
