First Day of First Grade and End of Summer

 Ryan and Luke started 1st grade on Monday.  Ryan was so excited about going to school that he had his backpack on and his bag of school supplies in his hands an hour before it was time to get on the bus.  They had a great day and a great week.  Greg and I are looking forward to Back to School Night next week so we can learn a little more about what they will be doing this year.  We are so glad that they are back in school - Ryan really thrives in the routine of a school year and Luke loves being in a classroom.

We only have 2 weekends left at the pool  - which is always sad for me.  I've loved watching the boys grow up each summer and improve in their swimming and their comfort level in the water.  This was the first year that I've felt confident enough in their swimming ability to not be right there with them in the pool all of the time.  Ryan is able to swim the full length of the pool and dive to the bottom of the 5 ft level.  Luke feels confident enough to tread water for a long period of time, swim the width of the pool, and dive to the bottom.  I think they could spend all day every day at the pool.
