One more week... hard to believe summer is almost over.
Eye appointments, orthodontist, physical therapy, kindergarten/middle school/high school orientations and much more to pack in the next week and a half.
It's a bittersweet feeling going back to school.... I am so ready for a routine and to get back to my Pilates classes, etc... but I haven't been out of bed before 7:00 most of the summer. Needless to say we'll all be in for a shock Monday AM when the alarm goes off.
The last few weeks have been filled with more fun- Jack spent some time alone with Gammy and Poppy and took a trip to Chicago with his Dad, Riley went to an art workshop camp and the Great Wolfe Lodge and Hadley had her last dance camp of the summer.
Riley has been practicing for Cross Country almost daily for about a month now. She has her first meet tonight. She would happily quit if Todd and I let her and there's no chance she'll do it next year but it's been good for her. It's making her tougher and her cardio endurance is better than ever. She's also been working one on one with a high school lax player this summer and has been enjoying that. Her club team starts back up this Sunday with a few Sunday practices before moving to twice a week in October.
Jack hasn't had any sports this month since baseball shuts down in August but he's had his PT exercises daily and goes back for what I hope is his last PT session tomorrow AM. He's spent lots of time at this small lake in a neighborhood close by and his friends- they swim and hang out and do whatever else they do. His life is about to turn upside down with early AM workouts, school, practice, games, etc... and I keeping my fingers crossed that he gets selected to be a buddy mentor in Take on Sports for football this fall. It's an organization that pairs up special needs kids with able bodied kids to play adaptive sports. Jack is excited about the opportunity.
Hadley started t-ball/softball two weeks ago. She's had two practices- the first one she threw up b/c she was overheated and the second one she cried at the end b/c she didn't want to run the bases.... UGH! She wants to do it though so we'll keep trucking along.
Some pics from the summer....
