As we are flying toward school starting next week, I thought I’d check-in. Posts about our summer will come; likely after the kids are back in school & I have a bit more time.

For now, we are working to get everyone’s supplies purchased, and new uniforms bought after kids have outgrown much of what they have. James & Anna are making plans with friends ‘one more time’ before school begins. And, Kenny & I are soaking up the remaining time with the kids home more. We love it. Time for more games together, meals together, watching the Olympics together, & enjoying each other’s company.

This week, late afternoon & evening activities began for both kids – dance & marching band rehearsals. They are ready to get back into it & it’s nice to make that adjustment before school starts. 

While at Walmart getting school supplies, we may have bought a few new games. I’ve been telling the kids how much I enjoyed playing Operation as a kid, & we decided to go for it. We were sadly disappointed at how quiet the buzzer is compared to the old game years ago. That was part of the fun of it! So, Kenny looked it over & is pretty sure he can fix that. 😉
