Negligence

Yeah, I've been negligent in posting a blog. Sorry, faithful reader(s).

Summer is nearly over, and to blog about everything will take too many pages, so here's the more succinct version:

• CME graduated from Kindy and also got his official autism diagnosis. The process is underway to get him into public school for first grade. He's also started piano lessons.
  

• Matty has started therapy at the same place as CME. We're hoping to grow a little impulse control soon.

• We went to Alaska. More on that another time. I might have to do a blog series on it!

• We survived 85 kids at VBS.
  

• We celebrated 13 years of marriage on the 6th of July. 3 more years and I'll be as old as Mark was on our wedding day!

• My favorite yarn store moved to a new bigger location. Lovin' it. Not a lot of knitting happening right now, but I have a lot of projects in store.

• CME and Matty have both gotten the hang of swimming with their swim vests on. Matty loves jumping in and both boys can do the lazy river by themselves now. This is much easier on Momma than trying to float with two clinging monkeys pulling her swimsuit down.
  

• I've started jogging. Go ahead and laugh, but I've lost 8 pounds using the Couch to 5k program. My calves hate me, though.
  

• CME's summer program is finished and Matthew's ends this week, so we'll just be counting the days until school starts again. (28!)
  

That's the summer in a nutshell. I promise to elaborate on the Alaska experience soon. It was beyond awesome, and I doubt anything I write or any pictures I post will really do it justice.

Later...
