SUMMER TIME!

Wow...has it really been since Easter since I have blogged?  I was trying to keep up with it but seem to get behind.  I guess I take on too much.  Project life provides documentation of our life so I guess I let the blog go.  Really want to do both.  So here it goes:

APRIL

 Bella attended her Kindergarten Orientation!  Yes she did.  She is starting kindergarten in the fall.  I am still shocked that this child, who I still call baby, is going into school in August.  It goes by so fast.  Here she is with the traditional Rockwell ES School Clifford.

Wish I had happy news for Morgan from April, but in mid April, Morgan had a riding accident.  She fell off of her horse at lessons, hit her head, and had a concussion....a pretty bad one.  Her long term memory was intact but her short term was a mess.  For the first five hours, she repeated herself every 10 seconds and lost 3 days of information.  It started slowly coming back.  She was out of school for almost 2 weeks.  She spent an entire week of doing NOTHING.  She was not allowed to use her brain.  She couldn't watch tv, read, do puzzles,do anything. 1 month of light activity and slowly back to normal.  Thank goodness she is ok.  She didnt start riding again for 2 months! And still is taking it easy.

MAY

The short version of May:

• Greg built Bella a loft bed.  Bella even helped make and design it!
• Me and the girls went to NJ for Mother's day.  Aunt Joc came in, too.  It was a nice weekend.  We even saw MomMom!
• Jimmie Cone
• Strawberry Picking as a family
• Morgan's last orchestra concert as a Freshman!

JUNE

June brings good things: summer, summer, and summer.  Morgan started riding again.  It was awesome to see her back at the stables and riding.  She is still a bit nervous to canter but that is ok.  She is taking it at her pace.  Morgan finished the school year with 3 As and 4 Bs.  Very proud of her.  She has requested to take 3 honors classes next year.  She seems to really love high school and plans to try out for the High school Volleyball team.  Morgan started the summer by being a counselor at the stables for their summer camp program.  She did almost two weeks, but caught a summer virus midway through and was stuck home three day :(  She starts the counselor program for the recreation department in 2 weeks.

Bella graduated from preschool this month!  Crazy how time flies. She had a great time in preschool and learned so much.  She will miss Ms. Lorie and Ms. Nyguet like crazy, as will I.  Keeping Bella busy at the pool...
