Another Season Over

We are officially into summer vacation.  School ended a few weeks ago but this weekend was the last of baseball and dance.  My son had also finished cub scouts.  So, we can all take a deep breath and relax for a few months.  I can have a break from rushing to get dinner done early and my husband can take a break from having to hurry home from work and eat dinner as quickly as possible.  I love, love, love that my kids are so involved in after school activities but it can definitely wear you out! 

I am proud of my kids.  They are doing so well in their lives.  My son's grades could have been better but I won't complain about them.  Hey, he's better at school than I was.  He received an award from our State Representative.  In scouts he bridged over to Webelos and has two more years until he can become a boy scout.  I'm not sure if he will continue but he is willing to finish up the cub scouts.  He also finished his first year in kid pitch baseball.  He did very well with it.  It seems each season he gets better and better and his attitude and enjoyment towards the game improves as well.  He wants to keep going with baseball. 

Yesterday my daughter had her second recital.  It was titled "From Ballet to Broadway" and it was her dance school's 20th anniversary.  The first act was "Belle's Enchanted Garden" and she was a butterfly. 

She loves dancing and wants to keep going.  I would love to see her do so and even though it's going to get even more expensive I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure we can afford to allow her to do so.  It's already clear to see she has both the passion and the feet for dancing. 

I am looking forward to a relaxing summer filled with vacations, outings and plenty of fun.  First vacation - the beach!  Yay!
