Kendall waiting her turn in freestyle relay
Backstroke
Kendall's diveWe are officially out of school!! We have been out for a little over a week now. It hasn't actually felt like summer yet. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that we had so many unusual events during the school year...random days/weeks off for hurricanes and flooding. Perhaps once we reach next week, it will feel more like summer vacation. Maybe I shouldn't use the word "vacation"...we don't really get to have one of those this year. It is going to be a bit busy and I have yet to find a sliver of time so that we can go and do something fun.
It has been an exciting week off for most of us. Blake went on a Mission trip with church for the week. He had a great time and got to work with 2 different families. They did a lot of yard work, built stairs and built a deck. He is on the waiting list for a camp in July and he really, really hopes he gets to go. Kendall got a week of no Blake which was heaven for her. We got our nails done and our hair cut. She spent a lot of time at the pool for practice. We also took her to an Astros game and she brought her friend along. They were more worried about what the people around us looked like and where the guy was who was selling cotton candy! I had an exciting week because I interviewed for a new position. It is a position at my current school and I didn't tell many people that I had even applied. It was a little strange interviewing with people I already know...I am not sure if that made the process easier or more nerve-wracking. I am happy to say that I got the position and am excited about being the new Instructional Specialist (Math/Science). It will be a learning experience but I can always use the excuse of being "new", right?
We have had many swim meets over the last month. Every Saturday, we are up by 6AM and at the pool by 7:15-ish. We are usually home by 2pm or so. Kendall has cut her times quite a bit since the start of the season. She is about 2 seconds from qualifying for an invitational meet which is great since this is the first season for her to swim. We plan to sign her up for a year-round program since she likes it so much.
