There’s a spider infestation in my house!
What a great friend I have in Miranda. She’s one of those people I can go months without talking to, then pick up anew as if we saw each other every day.
I was so happy to have her and Nate come to Denver for Brian’s memorial back in July. We took a few pictures to commemorate. It was an otherwise dreary day, but I got to squeeze in a yarn store visit with her, and ice cream with the delightful April as well.

Jack has been bouncing from summer camp to summer camp, having lots of fun in the sun. He is excited, but nervous to start Kindergarten next week. He is enjoying his last few days of looong breakfasts with TV.
Sam is exploding with words. He’s picking up so many social expressions, little hmms and such. He’s also getting better at ending sounds, so Dah has finally become Dog. He counts like this “Nine, two, nine, two, nine, two!” This week he has started to say “Fun!” as a statement. I wake him in the morning, he greets me with “Fun!” Ben asks how their day was “Fun. Fun fun fun.”

We met friends at Lakeside a couple weeks ago for our annual end of summer outing. Sam was old enough to try some rides. Jack begrudgingly agreed to ride the kiddie rides with him. After I took Sam home Jack was able to bust out with Ben to the big rides.

This is my favorite park. It’s about 20 minutes away, up in Westminster. So I treated it like a real outing – packed snacks and waters and a giant ikea sack of sunscreen and towels and spares clothes and such. The boys had a lot of fun. It’s such a cute and well designed place. I only wish there was more shade on the equipment, and it was closer to us.

Jack and I have been talking about what elective class to take next. His summer school, Creekside Cubs, ends in a couple weeks. There are some classes at the Apex center that would start in August and go into September, on top of his half day Kindergarten. Earlier this year he was talking a lot about taking ballet again. I told him he could try tap too, like me. He wanted dance class, then faltered and says he wants tumbling again. I ordered some tap shoes to give it a try.
Yeah, it took about that long for him to declare he wants to take tap classes. Too. Both tumbling and the ballet/tap combo. Hmmm. It’s not really that expensive, but I’m not sure he will have the gumption to attend two classes a week, on top of new Kindergarten. He’s only five – I’m wary of over-scheduling already.
But I’m going to have a hard time prying those taps away from him now.
