We had the loveliest first week of summer with a few days in Rehoboth, lots of swim team, camp errands and packing, and then getting HBB to his summer home in Utica. Now we are in Ballet Intensive Land, and Ancestral Knowledge camp, where I purchased a knife for my 7 year old! It is sweltering hot, but minigolf as a family was fun. I can't believe I'll be apart from Hersh for 6 weeks:( Time is passing so quickly, but working to enjoy and ease into the summer flow.
We are deep deep deep in transition time--Daleview swim taking over from Machine, school year ballet all done (with promotion to level 4---we are so proud of Lu--she worked so so hard for this---and needs to continue to achieve her goals)! We are also relieved--what a ridiculous part of parenting! Sender finally lost his 2nd front tooth and is almost done at South Campus:( Hersh is wrapping up Freshman Year like a champion--achieving his goals and preparing for HSJ--cant believe he'll be gone for 6 weeks! This afternoon I will go to the end of year Drama Class performance at Blair. Middle School Dance, and boba tea date, a day in Annapolis, and endless love!
Today Jacob and I are celebrating 21 years of wedded bliss! Appropriately, Sender asked me as we were loading into the car this morning, "So, what are we doing to celebrate your and Abba's 21th anniversary? Where are we going?" Sender also asked me this week, "What is college about? Is it your first year as a grownup?" Hersh is currently on the way home from his summer home, and had an incredible week as a CIT at Dream Street--so so grateful--and we missed him so much! AlteLu is is surviving the last days of the first year of MS--she is staying strong and is definitely ready for the summer break! The theme of today as I was leaving home emerged to be "and, and, and" as is we have a million things happening and it is unclear how it will all come together...but it will, because it always does, as we are a family filled with love, gratitude, yiddishkeit, and flexibility! Can't wait to see what the next 21 years bring!
