School’s out

for the summer!

I don't think I have ever looked forward to a summer more, as this year just exhausted me.  I must admit that I am glad we don't have so much planned that we can't spend random days in museums or just hanging out at the pool.  While I am terribly jealous of all my friends who are PCS-ing over the summer, after reviewing (just) the piles of laundry, I am suddenly relieved that I have a little more time to go sort through all of our stuff before we depart for our next post.  

Before we wile away our summer hours reading, writing, drawing, nature-walking, museum-visiting and splashing, we tooke the requisite end of the school year photos.  Thanks very much to Pete for taking the first one so I didn't have to stand outside in my jammies and frighten the neighbors before they've had their first sip of coffee.

The soon-to-be 8th grader and teenager (*gasp*…nah, we're ready).

Kelsey (now a 4th grader) and her morning cheering section.  Oh, the woe if Nicholas is not awake and at the bus stop to give her "a hug, a kiss and a pat" before she leaves for school.

Last, but not least:  The Little Guy!

 

Happy summer, everyone!
