1st day of 7th grade and misc other stuff

Been awhile but life has been busy. Since K got back from CA she managed to spend every day of one week with her bff either at our house or their house. Enjoyed the last week of freedom before school started. That plus soccer has kept us busy.

Painted K room a nice beautiful restful shade of green. Actually two toned. We have some decorating to do and finding the right colors to match but she loves it. Much better than the floresent green that was in the room. Here's a picture right after we put the furniture back



K did not want me to take her picture today but I insisted. It's far from technically good but it's as good as I could get her to do. At least she smiled in this one.



Life is going to be busy this year. K is in athletics which means staying after school until 445pm, which means no bus home and we have to pick up. Then one day a week she has sectionals for symphonic band (top band at her school) so she has to be there before 8am. Then two nights a week of soccer practice and games will start the first weekend in Sept. Add youth at church on Sunday's not a lot of free time. We won't even talk about her being in all Pre AP classes which means more work from school.

K has a soccer tournament this weekend so I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures from then. Hopefully now that school has started I'll have more to update and things to say. I need to work on taking pictures daily so I have those to add too.

California Trip

Had a great quick trip to my parents for the weekend. Left Kaitlyn there with the family until Friday. Spent the weekend just having a relaxing time with family. Got to meet my wonderful new nephew. Only 2 months old, now is one of those times where i wish we lived closer.

Went to my 30th high school reunion while there. Very interesting seeing all the people I hung out with in high school. Memmories that others had that I don't remember but they knew I was there. Memories I had that others didn't. Glad I went.

Carolyn, Katya, Kaitlyn and I went to a SF Giants game. Rode on the train there and back. Of course the Giants won and we had great seats.







I'll try and post more pictures later. Blogger is limiting me to 5 pictures right now.

Update

Not much going on here other than soccer and normal life. K is loving playing with her new soccer team though it's much harder work than rec ball. We've played in two tournaments in the last two weeks of July. Can you say hot??!!! Here's one of K



I can't believe that summer (at least the part that is offically summer it will be hot until October) is almost over. School starts in 3 weeks. 7th grade WOW. I'm sure I'll have lots to update then.

K and I leave for CA next Sunday while John gets some quality alone time. I'll only be there a few days and K will stay for a week spending time with family. She's excited to do so and then fly home by herself.

I have a new appreciation for air conditioning since ours was out for a few days. I'm loving the cool air in the house. We're going to donate the air conditioner we purchased for the bedroom to an organization that helps people.

I'll try and get more pictures of just normal life to post this week. Posts without pictures can be boring.
