Well, hello, there.

Hey, you.  Yes, you there.  The last person still lurking around this blog waiting to see if I post anything witty.     Swim season has started back up and Max is swimming this year too.  He is a hoot, so stay tuned.  I may just have something humorous to share!

In the meantime, here's a quick recap of the last 5 months just to get you caught back up.

In June, Kaylee & Max had dance recital.  It was a great experience for everyone.  Max really seem to enjoy himself then promptly announced that he was done dancing forever.

In July, Nate went to sleep-over camp for the first time.  He "had a great time even though this kid picked on me the whole week."

In July & August, Nate & Max participated in a swim clinic.  Max didn't drown so we decided to put him on the Marlins Swim team.

In July & August, Kaylee participated in CIY and a couple of Dance Camps.  She also got her Driver's License.  We occasionally see her around the house.

In September, everyone started back to School.  Kaylee is a Senior at Merritt Academy in New Haven.  They boys are attending 2 homeschool co-ops. Nate is in 5th/6th Grade.  Max is in K/1st.  (We consider them in these split classes because due to their late fall birthdays they could be in the older class and we try to keep them at that academic level but if they were ever to go to public school we'd put them down a grade due to their young ages.)

In September  Derek got a job!  He is teaching part-time at Homeschool Connections.  His first paid position in over 10 years.

In October,  Nate & Max had their first swim meet.  Max finished 2nd in the 25 Back and 3rd in the 25 Free.  Nate swam the 200 Free, 50 Free,100 Free  & 50 Breast.  He took time off in all his event and finished 2nd, 2nd, 4th & 5th.

We have another meet coming this weekend and we are expecting audition results to be posted any day for this years Dance Competitions.  So stay tuned.  I'm going to try to get back into this blogging thing.
