The end of April saw a big change to our family in my return to full time work. At least I get to work from home, but it's still an adjustment for everyone. For one, my office is in the cat's room, so at least once a day, I get a lap visitor at my desk. She hasn't made it on camera yet, but there's still plenty of time. And look at what my sweet boy thought to get me for my birthday - a laptop stand!
In other news, it's been a very wet May...
which has led to some interesting sporting events. Hadley usually brought a book or two to her brother's soccer games. Here she's reading under the cover of her jacket on the sidelines.
Owen played his final soccer game in the rain. The team came in 2nd place out of 8 teams in their age group. Their last game was nearly forfeited because his coach and assistant coach were ejected from the game prior. Luckily, some dads stepped up in the nick of time and the boys played probably their best game of the season. Other than the coach drama, we enjoyed watching the Dragons play!
May also brought the start of swim team season. In between rain cancellations, the kids went to swim practice every day after school. Hadley was in the 7-8 group, and Owen had to practice with 11-18 year-olds! The excitement of the pool reopening this year led to the largest swim team ever, so the pools were quite crowded at practices.
The pool has been a welcome addition to end the pandemic school year! Check out the kids "dives"!
Someone was so excited for swim team season that she took a couple of months of swim lessons beforehand to practice up. They both put in stellar performances at their practice meets, particularly in backstroke times! (Note: the pictures only show the top 4 to save space, but there were 12-15 kids in each age group.)
