farewell to summer

My summer went by in a blur of long start-up weeks. All in all, I'd say my kids had a pretty good summer. Lots of activities. The Boy became a tennis champ and by far the best piano student at their school. The Girl flew through a swimming class she failed last year. And learned to ride a bike. And learned to fish. But of course when you ask them they'll tell you that *last summer* they got to go to Japan.
