Man it has been a while since I last wrote. We had a great time in TN, it is just nice to go up there and relax while visiting family. We did some shopping, I got a new Coach purse and sunglasses and Matt finally was able to make that bow purchase he has been wanting to do for a while. On the 4th of July my uncle had a cookout and we did a bunch of swimming. I even went on my first hunt, be it for rabbit. It was actually not bad to eat either.
While playing outside Nathan had the privilege of getting his first tick. Thankfully it wasn't on him too long and I was able to get if off very easily.
On our way to TN we stayed the night in Atlanta and went to a Braves game. It was super hot and Braxton didn't really enjoy sitting there for that long of a time period but overall the we all had a good time.
Both Nathan and Liam are both swimming in the River City league, championships are this Thursday. It is nice that the summer league is coming to an end and we will have a break from the weekly swim meets again.
Nathan also started piano lessons last week with Mrs. Dismuke, his music teacher at Trinity. She said he was very smart and did an excellent job. Nathan said he really enjoyed it. It looks like it will be something we continue when school starts at the end of August. She does lessons for the homeschool kids on Thursday mornings so we will be able to just drop of Liam and then walk over to piano.
Both Nathan and Liam both caught some sort of bug last week. Liam was the first to get it but for the first four days he was just really tired, just looked out of it. I was starting to worry so I schedule him an appointment with the doctor. She did a strep and flu test and both came back negative, so not sure what it was. She ended up giving him an antibiotic because it could of been a different type of strep and after one dose of the medicine he was 100% better. Then Nathan got sick two days later, he still has a cough but feels fine.
Other than that just gearing up for school. Almost done with the school shopping, uniforms and lunch boxes purchased along with most of the homeschool items for Nathan. Went through the first 6 weeks of the A Beka curriculum and wrote out a weekly plan for each subject. Looking forward to starting and the changes ahead.
Thursday was River City Champs and both boys did really well. For 25 yard free Nathan got 30.34 and Liam got 39.34, Nathan cut his time by a second and Liam by 4. Nathan would of gotten under 30 seconds for the first time ever but prior to the horn sounding a lady said stop so when he jumped in he turned around to see what was going on. Even after that he came from last to place 2nd in his heat. Both Matt and I were very proud of him. For 25 yard back Nathan got 38.66 and Liam 50.91 and in the mixed relay, which they both were on they placed 1st in their heat with 2:47.29.
Sorry for the lack of pictures, Matt had the camera and I thought he was taking some but I later found out he wasn't. Oh and check out Liam's fashion statement, speedo briefs, swim cap, and fireman rain boots. Every where I walked with him everyone was commenting on his outfit.
