Summer's Almost Here!

Daily I am amazed that it's already May and summer vacation is almost here. Although, because it's so hard to find something to do in this heat, the kids look forward to summer school and football, not hanging out with their friends like we used to.

Junior finished up his swim season by placing 7th and 12th in the division finals. Great job for his freshman year, swimming against seasoned veterans! His grades are still looking great and he's still talking about college, so we're on the right path.

Lani will be starting his "end of the year" activities this month since he's graduating from 8th grade and getting ready to move on to the high school. He's on the fence about whether or not he will be playing football, but seems pretty confident he will be joining swim team next spring.

I can't believe my little guy is almost done with kindergarten. I keep asking him to slow down and stop growing up so fast, but he says "mommmmmm...." (with a bit of a growl). He's done very well and we've been so lucky to have such a wonderful teacher for him. Two weeks ago they made homemade pasta for the family lunch. If that's not brave, I don't know what is!

I wish all of you mothers a Happy Mother's Day! I hope it is a relaxing day for you.
