So, my plan to post on my blog a couple of times a week has hit a wall. A wall called teaching, coaching, and parenting when I can. Luckily, this is a three day week so I have less planning to do, and the cross country season ended on Saturday with a very disappointing conference meet. I finally have more time with my family and even got to see Lydia get off the bus today! We went to Lydia's conferences tonight and were happy to learn that she's smart and is doing fine socially. She talks too much, but no more than any other five year-old.
Lydia's teacher showed us a grid with 20 squares on it that they filled in with as many numbers as they knew, and Lydia got all the way to 20 and her teacher asked her if she could do more, and she said yes, so she gave her another grid and she just started with 101, 102, 103, etc. Ha! Just skipped 21-100 and started over with a 1 in front of each of them.
So, here are some things we've been up to...
I finally ran my marathon. After months of training, including long weekend runs, I accomplished something pretty huge, and was happy to be done and have more time for the girls. They came to support me at the finish.
We went to the Elegant Farmer and rode the train to East Troy.
Audrey waved the whole time.
The girls and I visited the Milwaukee Public Market, and then walked to the lighthouse on Lake Michigan.
We walked along the river on our way back to the 3rd Ward and the girls loved looking through the cracks at the water.
