argh

Okay, so I took pity on you poor blog readers and updated you a couple of weeks ago, but it won't post. So it's hanging out in my draft folder and I'm so great with technology that I can't figure out how to post it.

Anyway, I'm not going to re-hash. It's not all that interesting.

Lola is busily wrapping up her second year with GRIT. She works with some pretty amazing people. I know she's going to miss Deannie like crazy over the summer. Lola has her preschool "graduation" (into the next year, I guess?) on Thursday. They've been rehearsing for weeks. I am excited to see what Lola gets up to at the celebration. They had movie and pj day yesterday at school and though Lola was very into the popcorn and jello, she wasn't too interested in watching a movie. Big surprise! What a girl.

Liam is happy to be wearing shorts and t-shirts to school. Really. It's a very big deal for him given the long winter we've all endured. He's in his third year of baseball and doing really well with his hitting. He spends most of his time in right or left field which he doesn't love, but it's good for him. He gets to practice paying attention for hours of no action in the outfield. He's looking forward to our trip to Ontario - and he's currently focusing on what sport he'll take at Camp Olympia. This kid gets the best summers, I'm telling you.

Steve is working hard on Lola's race. Like really hard. He spends hours a night on it and it's going to be amazing. Every detail is thought out - and it shows in the final product.

And I'm just busy wrapping up the school year. June is crazy with graduation, the wrap-up with my own kids, evening "functions" that must be attended (both work-related and not), etc. I'm looking forward to a slower pace this summer.

Speaking of summer, we're heading to Ontario July 1. I'm worried about how Lola will do on the plane. Usually we just feed her the whole time and that keeps her busy. With her diet, I can't really do that, and she'll tire of her ipad. 3 1/2 hours......I hope she can do it or we might be driving back. Did I mention we haven't booked return flights? Yeah. Good one. I was waiting for a seat sale that never came. Anyway, it'll be me and the kids and Dora (Lola's caregiver...did I mention she's amazing? Lola LOVES her. There are lots of hugs and kisses coming from my girl all day long.) So I'm looking forward to getting the kids outside, taking them to the beach, and eating Firenze's pizza. Steve wants me to fed-ex him a pizza. He's not kidding.
