We realized that with July behind us we only had a little bit of summer left. And the mourning began...but it didn't last long. We didn't have time to mourn!
Maggie headed off to camp for the second year. She absolutely loves it and even though it kills me that she leaves me so willingly (and happily), I'm glad she enjoys it. This year, we had to cut things short because she had a soccer tournament but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Gary headed up to pick her up and had to go to Lake Chelan to do it. It was A LOT out of the way but exposed us to a new place we want to visit! The next day, the first day of her soccer tournament, Maggie came down with a stomach bug that was making it's way through camp but somehow it managed to be pretty mild. She recovered just in time to play and started at forward. I was confused to say the least. She tried out at defender. She was chosen as a defender. She is naturally a defender. What in the world was she doing at forward? Speed. You see, my girl is faaaaasssst! So her coach is using her speed (and her other skills) to convert her into a forward. Stay tuned to see how that goes!! Gary also started his girls season and his boys select season. Soccer was in full swing.
In our spare time (I can't say that with a straight face, it's so ridiculous!), we decided to do some interior work on the house. Re-doing the exterior/windows/doors/etc. last year, created a lot of work on the inside. We started with the girls' rooms. We repaired drywall, re-did texturing, re-painted, added molding and shelving and baseboards. Gary worked his tail off. But in the end, it was worth every minute. It looked fabulous!! Now Gary can go back to work and get some rest!
