Summer!

Hello everyone. Greetings from the east coast. June is almost gone, I can't believe it! Summer goes by way to fast. So my first 2 weeks of summer were great. I quite enjoyed not having to get up early, being able to do nothing, etc. I did have 2 days of professional development on literacy. It was a little to close to the end of the year and I was not a very good student. Also a lot of it was review. It was nice to get to know some of my colleagues better. Anyway soon after I made the annual pilgrimage to Connecticut. This year it will be for about 7 weeks. I am taking care of the little ones for the summer. (Note: The nieces and nephews will only be referred to by initials because I feel silly using a fake name :) It is still hot and humid here in case anyone is wondering. It has not been to bad yet, I am waiting with dread for it to really get hot. The littlest one had her gymfest on Saturday. She was so cute doing all her gymnastics routines and apparently she has made huge progress this year! I. has a cast on but I usually forget because she almost never complains! It is amazing and she has found a way to do almost anything. I think maybe she got her spirit from Grandma Greenland! G. read the book I gave him in 24 hours, that was with about 4-5 hours of actual reading time. The book was 516 pages long. It is hard to admit that he reads faster than me! Well I wish I had lovely pictures to embellish this update with but alas no camera. That is on the shopping list for this summer.
