Catch up

I've got to catch up on the past few weeks...

Bailey went to lacrosse camp with some girls from her team

Cal and AJ went to see Night at the Museum 2 with a super 3rd grade teacher who will now be teaching 4th grade this fall - they won it in the Silent Auction at the Spring Festival

We go to swim practice every day -- sometimes twice. The kids are all seeing huge improvements in their swim times and getting plenty of exercise

I took a trip with a friend to see David Sedaris in Winston-Salem. He was hilarious, and we had seats right up front. He signed our books and gave me a bottle of body wash from the hotel as an anniversary present. Ellen was an excellent hostess as always.

This is just a fun picture of the kids before a swim meet.

Contact lenses for Cal

Cal decided to give contact lenses a try today. He was a natural with getting them in at the doctor's office. I'm hoping they work out because I think they'll turn out to be easier for him. Sports and glasses have never been a great combination.

Bat Mitzvah!

Cal had an exciting and long-awaited event today - a Bat Mitzvah for one of his classmates. He had to dress up and behave for 9 long hours! It was nice to find out that both of those things were possible.
