Heavens where to begin! Life has been bananas around here lately with work, kids, and more work.
A while back I was in Boston for work and both my parents and Dave’s parents were kind enough to help us out with the kiddos as we pulled them from daycare for the entire week. The kids had a blast with their grandparents and enjoyed spending time up north. Ajax is in a new summer camp program through his elementary school, as we thought it would be nice to get him into the routine of going to the school in the morning and meeting other kids who would be in his class. So far he has absolutely loved it. He went to Potter Park zoo, he took an Amtrack train ride to Battle Creek, and he saw a magician at the library. Each week they have a new theme and field trip. Ajax thinks that’s pretty awesome. Noomi is still at Kindercare and still enjoying it. We’ll keep her there another year until she too can transition over to the school district pre school program, so that both kids are at the same place.
Dave is now driving into Dearborn again, as he leg strong enough to drive long distances. He’s doing very well and will have one more surgery in August to remove the longest screw from his leg.
This is obviously the Fourth of July weekend, and our holiday started on Thursday as I had the day off. I took both kids to my work to visit, then we went to a dozen stores getting things for Noomi’s party, then we played at McDonald’s for over an hour, then we went visiting a friend with a new baby. At our friends, Ajax worked outside with some neighbor boys who were doing yard work and Noomi played inside with her baby. She was not terribly interested in the real baby, which I thought was funny.
On the Fourth of July we were home, we did yard work, played and generally bummed around, getting ready for next weekend. We tried to go swimming but Ajax got bite by a black fly and insisted on getting out of the pool and going into the house. So we ended up having an early dinner, roasting marshmallows, and playing with the neighbor kids. So there you go.
