Jackson:
We went to track and field, and it was wet and rainy and crappy. Jack ran the 50 Meter and because he was racing against 4th graders, he got left in the dust. It was sad. The look on his face when he finished last in his heat of 3 was like, "what just happened?" I felt really bad for him. He wasn't too disappointed though, because they weren't giving bikes away this year.
He has done a lot of playing in the dirt this summer as we can't seem to stop putting piles around our house. Constant dirt watch with him! Oh well. He is a boy and he does love it.
He has been having a really hard time with accidents this summer, for whatever reason. I am kind of at a loss as to what to do. We are going to have to do something though, because it's almost nightly. He doesn't seem to be phased by it, but it needs to stop.
He has been developing into a really good swimmer and it quite a fish going under the water and doing "tricks". I was surprised when we went to the gravel pit, that he was totally freaking out about going in the deep part even with a life jacket and me in a boat beside him.

Emma:
Emma won first place at track & field and did SOOOO good! I loved how intent she was and how she gave it her all. She has not been loving being on Girls this summer, because she doesn't like being in the kitchen with some of the ladies. I've had to talk to her about her doing her part to give something to the place we live in. She is also getting very brave in the pool and stopped wearing a life jacket, because she can touch (just barely) and she has been practicing swimming under water. She also loves to paddle around in the canoe and is very much enjoying playing will dolls and her doll house this summer.
Juliet:
Little Juliet is getting quite big. She is wearing 4T and it's not even close to being too big. She has been feeling her oats recently and we have been on her to be obedient. She likes took a while to like swimming, but once I lured her in, she took to it like a fish to water. She loves to put her head back and float on her back. She is a little scary though, because she thinks she can swim. Which she can't.
She is full of her own ideas of what should be happening in her life and she doesn't take to us crossing her plans. Pretty normal kid stuff.

Fitness:
BMU completely sucked at them one day and was much better the next. Still struggling to master the HSW. Pretty much, I feel like I am in a slow slide down a hill. But that could be just because I am tired and feel discouraged.

Health:
Had my fist appointment with SteadyMD. I liked the guy and I hope that things will unfold well. I have to get a bunch of blood tests done and a stool test to see what is happening in my gut. I have had a couple of times of pain. The main time being after I ate a breakfast sandwich. It was stupid and I regretted it for the following 24 hours.

Adventures:
One Sunday, we got a side by side and a four wheeler and went out to Rainbow lake behind the farm. We had a really good time and I got to be brave and drive places I am not comfortable driving. Jack loved it when we went through giant puddles and would giggle every time. I went through a big one and he didn't laugh and I looked over and he was falling asleep.
He let Juliet lay on his lap and sleep, on the way back. We had a great time, though the kids did squabble a bit as well. It doesn't seem like we can really get away from it. It's also been amazingly nice, and so we've done a lot of sand beaching and gravel pitting with the kids. Lots of swimming and lots of fun.

Life:
Pretty normal as far as that goes. Things are ticking along as per usual, though things are picking up at the office and we have family coming in July. That should be super fun.

Special Moments:
Emma won her race at Track and Field. I can't think of anything especially special other then a few fun family times of watching the Apple Dumpling Gang and eating dinner in the basement and the other little moments of snuggles and harmony. (They don't seem to happen very often.)

Goals:
We still need to go camping, though we have done some of the things we set out to do at the beginning of the summer.
I want to feel good!
I can't think of any goals either. I am pretty uninspired recently.
