Summer updates

busy busy busy...that about sums it up.

Mikaela is continuing swim lessons, she is being encouraged to do the "swim club". she has it in her mind that if it is hard she does not want to pursue it. We are in the process of changing this thought process. Tae Kwon Do, piano, and being at the pool every afternoon is where you will also find her.

Liz....who???? this is a girl now working two jobs (not recommended by her parents but a choice she has made). She is a nanny for a 3 and 8 year old 5 days a week 5 hours a day. Then mom picks her up and she lifeguards at the local YMCA until 8pm. she is trying so hard to get a car and help with the Europe trip. However, we are encouraging her to back off...it is the summer and she is only 15. We are firm believers that you have to be responsible but you need to enjoy your youth. She is also taking a defense krav maga course with mom and goes to the pool with her friends. Oh yah if you have not seen pics Mikaela is only about a head away from being taller then her sister (dont say anything though).

As for me I have enjoyed my past 4 days off from work as they have low census and needed someone to take a few days off. Dont have to ask me twice. However, during this time I have not figured out how I have time to work and do all these fun things with my kids. Went to the movies with liz, played games with both of them until 10 pm last night and today we are doing lunch and running....wow is it time to breath. I can say we love it because we do it together no matter how fast or often we go. Liz will be going to have a bone spur removed out of her elbow sometime in the future we are just in the prelimimaries of having it CT scanned and doctor getting a better view of what she has going on.

Ken is putting in 60+ hours of work in 4 days so his days off consist of helping with the girls, sleep, and golf. Well some yard work inbetween.
