1. Elliott went to a typical daycare this summer. And, for the most part, things went OK.
2. Elliott took swimming lessons for a couple of weeks in the early summer. Although half the sessions were a bust when he never even made it into the water, he picked up some skills. With a lot of coaching from Eric, he got good enough to pass the swim test at the Y a few weeks ago.
3. Marilyn ran a 5K (Retro Run, hence the glasses) with her 2 favorite guys there to cheer her on.
4. Elliott has gone to a ton of birthday parties: several swimming parties, a McWane Center party, and even a bowling party!
5. We got a new back yard. (And wish we had done it years ago.)
6. We rescued a cat, Mister Pettypaws. Although we are seriously considering murdering her at times because she won't stop scratching us, Elliott is madly in love. A few days ago he reported that Mister is his best friend he's ever had. Awwww. (Imagine how close their relationship would be if she would stop attacking him! Haha)
7. We have had a lot of extra time for stuff like zoo trips, hiking, farmers' markets, and generally being lazy--the perfect way to spend a summer.
***Editor's note: You may notice that Elliott is a big fan of the "thumbs up" right now. :)
