Despite temperatures still soaring into the mid 90s and the calendar still firmly planted on August it's clear that this summer has come to a close. What a joyful summer we had! Spending the whole of July traveling to Boston/Iceland/Scotland was so much fun. The kids loved exploring every place we visited which reconfirmed that traveling with kids really is worth the time, money, planning, and hours on end of flying. Check out the video we put together of clips from the adventure....it's worth tuning in just to see Lydia's dance break at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland.
I've gotten side tracked. To school and back to school!
Oliver is back at Cram (yes, that's the name of the school) for his second year. He's in the 2nd grade. Oliver continues to state that his favorite part of school is recess and his favorite job in the classroom is reading, he really is becoming a great reader. Most days he rides his bike to and from school because he says "that's better for the environment"

Sweet Lydia. Oh my goodness. Our sweet girl started preschool today! We visited in the spring, we mentioned it on and off all summer, and we always got the same reaction "I not going there" "I not going to do dat." Errr. We visited Monday morning for a meet the teacher and see your classroom time. She wasn't too interested, but actually came around toward the end and said "Now I know that preschool is fun" That was Monday. Today is Wednesday, this morning she forgot that she thought preschool was fun. "I only like it when mommy stays with me." Yeah. We got ready, and took our picture outside and loaded into the car and headed off. She hung her bag, signed it, went to her class, hug/kiss/picture, and I pointed out the toys she liked on Monday and she got them out and said "I okay, bye mom" When I picked her up at noon I asked her what she did, expecting she would say she didn't know, but she mentioned singing and dancing, painting her hand, and playing with a friend named Chloe...impressive.
Cheers to the school year ahead!
