Spring is here!

I can't believe the kids only have a little over 3 weeks of school left. Where has the year gone?

The girls just finished another round of swim lessons. I think Emma is perfectly content with a couple of noodles just so she can float around and relax. Callie is all about learning to swim, jumping in and doing everything she can to have fun.

Josh is taking private lessons (whenever we can fit a lesson in). We hope to have him prepared to take the swim test at Webelos Camp this summer. He can do it if he just will. He's a pretty decent swimmer, but he gets nervous. :)

The girls are both reading pretty well for Kindergarteners. :) They should have no problem going into 1st grade. We'll just make sure they keep reading this summer.

Josh is really enjoying learning anything and everything he can about history. He got 10 extra credit points the other day because he knew where to find the books on Presidents in the school library (he's been checking those out for fun). He's getting ready to start a report on Andrew Jackson.

The girls will be going to summer camp at the Y this summer (just like last summer). Josh will be going to several different camps...he's going to Camp Invention (science camp), Scout Day Camp, Basketball Camp and Webelos Resident Camp (which is an overnight camp). Oh, and he'll be going to camp with Wendy at the end of June (her church camp). So, he's in for a busy summer. He'll have a few weeks off here and there to just do nothing, too. Maybe he can go spend a day or 2 at Grandmother & Granddaddy's and help them out some.

Josh will be 10 in another month! Wow! We're going to have a party at Laser Quest this year...that's in a couple of weeks. His birthday week is too busy to have a party!
