Summer is almost over. Boo. I'll miss it. It's been nice. Not too exciting, not too dull, just nice. Mike started meetings this week so we've been getting up earlier and I am really tired. I'm not looking forward to losing even more sleep hours once school begins, but we've got to make the big money somehow.....haha.

Anyway, I wanted to post a few things that we've accomplished this summer. It may not sound like much to most of you, but a lot of it is HUGE to us.

-Brayden is potty trained. This is even more of a celebration than usual since he is my LAST child to potty train. Praise Buddha.
- Tyson and Anna can ride bikes. Anna was ok at this but it has been 4 1/2 years and 3 bikes later that Tyson has finally figured out that riding a bike will most likely not kill him and he might actually have a little fun doing it. Really, this is big!
- Ty goes under the water in a swimming pool AND jumps off the diving board.
- I have a SUPAF staff. This is 3 1/2 years in the making. I still think I must be dreaming.
- Anna is a superb reader and keeps pushing herself forward.
- Tyson is advancing so quickly in piano that they are skipping a whole level. The little genius.

Ok, so we didn't vacation in the Bahamas, save an endangered species, or cure cancer, but in our little world, we might as well have done that. One thing still to conquer: shoe lace tying. I know, I know. Baby steps :)
