Summer!

Both kids "graduated" from their schools. Luckily, Sonia and Jack will be returning to Sonia's school (formerly Jack's too) for a little 4 week summer camp in July. Sonia still asks every day if she is going to Kim's. Kim made a cake on the last day of school with a picture of the girls on it: Jack's school had a ceremony. I teared up a bit. It was very sweet and a little sad. I'll miss the parents and kids from his class. Luckily, several of the parents have kids Sonia's age so we'll meet again in the fall when Sonia goes there. The new pace of summer is really nice. We don't have to be anywhere. Next week, Jack will attend a much-anticipated camp at the Museum of Flight but other than that, our summer is very low-key. We joined an outdoor pool in Bellevue. It's very simple but perfect. Both kids love it. We go rain or shine, cold or hot.. there's been much more rain and cold lately. Jack especially is very enthusiastic about swimming. He can swim under water but can't make it to the surface on his own. He is very tenacious though. He tries and tries. Swimming is the first athletic activity that Jack seems to love. It's fun to watch.
