Another Summer Day..

Good morning family! Well, it is abeautiful sunny day, I am sure it will reach somewhere in the 70's again today. Gotta love the southern CA weather here along the coast. I took Xander to Cub Scout day camp down in Rancho Las Flores which is on the Camp Pendleton Marine Base. He is a Boy Scout youth volunteer this year and will be there from 9-3 today and tomorrow and later in the afternoon on Friday. He was very excited when we got there because he arrived early enough that he could sign up to work the Archery Range. That was all he talked about. An added bonus was that when he got there, he realized that the other 2 boys that signed up were his friends from the neighborhood, so that made it all the more enjoyeable.

He is certainly gowing up much faster than I would like for him too. I am learning to slow down and enjoy all his "little boy" moments as they are few and far between now. It's hard to believe that he will be 12 soon.

Hannah and Christian are wrecking havoc on our backyard at the moment so I can't "blog" to long as I need to get out there and play with them, make them lunch and then get them down for naps. I'll be back soon......

I'm baaaaccck! Well, after a good nap, I woke the kids up so that we could pick up Xander from Cub Scout day camp and take him to what else....water polo. Water polo was a lot of work out and prepping to get ready for the Junior Olympics in San Jose this weekend. Last year the Split OC team took bronze, this year we are hoping to take GOLD! Keep your fingers crossed. Unfortunately Xander didn't make the team as only 15 people can be put on the roster and we have far more kids than spots. That's okay since he has only been on the team for 5 months and still needs to "earn" his place on the team. He is doing well and come September 1st, he will have water polo games every weekend until mid January. There will be plenty of opportunity in the future for the "big game". A treat at practice tonight was birthday cake. A friend of Xander's, Niklaus, on the team, turned 12 and his parents brought cake to celebrate.

After practice, came home did the usual and finally after a long day, crashed into bed for a great night's sleep! See you tomorrow!
