Hi! This board can get a little slow-moving so I thought we might want to try a weekly update! Just a note about what's new with you and your family. Feel free to brag about your sweeties too!

I'll start. The week is going to be busy. My ten-year-old son is gearing up for a fifth grade writing assessment in a few weeks. The teacher is really pushing the essay-writing skills. I think the "light has gone on!" with my son so I'm hoping he'll do well. It's hard for him to just get all those thoughts down on paper.

The triplets are in first grade and just chugging along. Just the homework routine.

I sign all four boys up for swim team on Wednesday. My older son has been swimming for two years but it's the first time for my triplets. We'll see how it goes! It will be expensive. About $190 per child for the team and bathing suit. Don't forget the $100 swim parkas they need too. At least they'll be good swimmers by the end of the summer!

Hope all is well with everyone else on the board!
