a happy recap

where has the time gone? I can't believe it is already august. we have been busy crossing things off our summer to do list. it might be easier to see what each of us has been up to.

jordan
-he has been swimming like a mad man.
-he took lessons at the park and recs pool and has made some big improvements in his strokes.
-he is reading just as madly. lately it has become a task to get him to put his book down and get outside of the house. if he could find a way to swim and read at the same time he would be set. -he will be taking a mini vacation next week to visit his old friend owen in sacramento.
-he is being a great big brother and playmate to his sibs. thanks jord.
