Coming around the bend

We are into our last full week of school...and the last Monday of the school year!  There is something always wonderful about that!  We enjoyed our last short weekend by spending the day with our friends at a wedding, and yesterday was MAJOR housework here at home.  The kids enjoyed their day with my mom, and despite some serious reservations I had, Mom loved having them as well.

Our next couple of weeks, as always, are crazy.  This week Robert will compete at the district track meet in the pole vault and the 400m dash.  While our school is by no means small, it is not at all athletic so Robert is getting opportunities as a freshmen that most don't have.  Our expectations are rather minimal, but we keep pointing out he's a frosh so that's okay!  Next week swim team practices begin, although we will have to miss for a recognition ceremony for Catherine at school.  Next week is the high school's graduation and Robert will be performing with the band.  The rest of us will attend as a family, and then just a few days later Robert will be confirmed in the Lutheran church.  We began attending this church about 16 months ago and it truly is the best fit for our family.   This weekend will also be full of many family and friends, and it's really a great way to end the school year!
