Summer is Here!

Wow. Another school year has passed us by. I am super proud of Savannah, she has been in four schools in three years and never missed a beat! She scored well on her FCAT (standardized tests) and is enjoying being at the YMCA for summer camp. Vince has enjoyed hanging out at home with me. He starts swim lessons next week and we are hoping that he will want to cross the deep end (actually, the middle of our pool) by the end of the lessons. He's become quite a dare devil in the pool. Cannonballs, jumps, and all sorts of other fun stuff he comes up with in his little mind.

The last week of school Vince had his end of the year program and Great Grandaddy and Thomas came down from Port Charlotte. The kids have enjoyed being so close to him. We try to go to Punta Gorda on Thursday evenings for the "open mic" at the park where Great Grandaddy frequents. The kids have loved getting up and singing. Vince likes to sing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and Savannah likes to tell knock knock jokes. I hope to get a video of Vince singing tonight.

Jeff goes in for surgery on his ankle tomorrow. We are hoping that the rehabilitation won't be too great, but we won't know until after the surgery and what the doctor finds/fixes.

We have a busy schedule coming up with Vacation Bible Schools and a trip to Macon en route to North Carolina for grandmother birthdays. Have a wonderful week, I will do my best to keep you updated!

The Last Week of School

I can't believe that summer is almost here! I mean, it already feels like summer here in Florida, but gosh, it seems like the kids have just gotten settled into their classes! Savannah has done very well at Allen Park and will be in the Full Time Gifted program next year. Vince will be in kindergarten there, so it will be nice to have both of them at the same school.
Savannah got her cast off last week and the first thing she did when she got home was to jump in the pool...fully clothed. It has killed her to not be able to swim or go to the beach, especially since it's been in the mid 80s. We were in Orlando for the past two weekends for a family trip to the parks and then Mother's Day weekend, we were there for a graduation party for my cousins. We also managed to hit Disney World on Friday night and Sunday before heading back to Fort Myers.
Savannah had her end of the year performance at school and the kids did a wonderful job. She was dramatic, of course, and was excited that Jeff, Vince, and I were all able to attend. Vince's end of the year program is on Wednesday. There is no telling how that will go! Five year olds on risers...
Have a good week, we hope to update some after Memorial Day festivities!
