Summer time

Since we have been back from vacation it has been really busy.  All three kids have taken and passed their swim lessons.  Jonathan did a week long basketball camp which he really enjoyed despite the high temps.  Andrew started his summer speech therapy and is working hard.  Madison has just finished a week of OPPTAG (Office of Precollegate Programs for Talented and Gifted) at Iowa State.  She took two classes this year.  One was a math course dealing with advanced problem solving and the other was a chemistry class about mixtures and solutions.  During the time she was on campus the boys and I spent lots of time watching for trains and playing at the park.  Now that July has started things are starting to slow down for us so we can enjoy the summer and get ready for harvest time in the garden.
