The last week of summer

Our magical summer together is quickly drawing to a close. As I headed back for three days of inservice this week, Jack has had one final week of summer fun!

Monday mornings, we would head to the local library for Baby Story Time with Ms. Denise. (side note: she also taught out birth class... Another moment of Life in a Northern Town!) Jack has enjoyed all the little guys there... although the new form of showing our love is grabbing faces and trying to squeeze very tight. Kiddos- watch out!


Tuesday was the day for swimming lessons with Ms. Karen at the YMCA. I'm thinking Olympic Games 2028? Jack was downgraded on his "report card" for drinking a bit too much water. I'm not going to let that hold us back from the gold. Is it appropriate to bring your yellow duck to the games?



And finally, we have had to say goodbye to one of our dearest friends. Ms. Carmen has watched Jack since I returned to work in February. I could not imagine leaving him in better hands- Carmen and her family are moving to Oregon this weekend (which unfortunately is too far of a commute... although I would be willing to go quite far if it meant Jack staying with her every day!!) so Thursday was Jack's last day with her, complete with a goodbye party. Although Jack does not know what is going on, I have cried enough for the both of us!! 



With these teary endings also comes new beginnings... all right fall, here we come!
