It's hard to believe that summer is just about over and the boys are both starting school back up next week. Georgie will be in 11th grade and Jake is going into 2nd grade and lets not forget about Miss Gracie who has moved up from the "Bears" room to the "Lions" room at daycare which will be getting her ready for kindergarten next year.
I plan on taking the kids to Hershey Park on Labor Day (it's going to be mobbed). I promised Jacob if he completed his summer reading program that I would treat him to a day at Hershey Park (a little incentive) and he read over and beyond the amount of books he was suppose to read. I am happy I kept on top of his reading over the summer. 
I find that even though summer is short, it's a struggle the first two months of school to not only get the kids back in a routine but to get them back into the groove of learning things that they struggled with the year before. I had Jake attend reading camp at the local library and when reading camp was over he continued to read daily at home. Jake is good and ready to start school back up and he will be where he needs to be with his reading - I am confident he will do just fine. Gracie starts her dancing classes back up next month and I am also checking into swimming for both Gracie and Jake for the fall. There is not too much else to report on. George (my husband) has been hitting the treadmill these days and I am still training for the Breast Cancer Walk which is fast approaching. Life is good, no complaints. (The pictures included in this post are pictures taken at a family wedding we recently attended back home in Altoona, PA - they are the most recent pictures of my three kids).
