So much for sleeping in! We dove right into summer with music and sports. Jake is taking trombone, saxophone, and cello lessons this summer, while Alex is signed up for tennis and golf. Haley started voice lessons as well, so we were up and running early Monday morning.
It's so fun to watch Jake progress and enjoy his music. He says he wants to play ALL the instruments...
Speaking of early mornings, I've been getting up early to walk/run along the river, and been rewarded with some pretty amazing sunrises. I even convinced Jake to join me one day.
This week was also our annual garage sale. (It will also be our last one for a while.) It is SO. MUCH. WORK. to set up and price everything, but is usually worth the effort. The kids love having the sale and always do really well with their lemonade stand. 11 years and counting! Haley did all the baking this year while the boys were on customer service duty.
Friday afternoon a huge storm rolled in, so we quickly closed up the sale and watched the boys run around in the rain. It's always astonishing just how much rain can fall in such a short time.
Finally the sale was over so we celebrated with (yet more) ice cream and playing at a park.
