Here's a quick rundown of what we've been up to...
1 - Summer vacation officially begins!
Which means we are living the dream. There is finally time for things like haircuts:
(for the first time since February)... and lots of time for books!!!
We have taken several trips to the library and used bookstore over the past few weeks and that is a small sample of what I have brought home. I am excited to start devouring books again. Ryan and I watched the movie version of One for the Money (and enjoyed it) so I decided to start reading the Stephanie Plum book it was based on. Ryan is further ahead in the series (I think book six). We have also recently watched and enjoyed The Time Traveler's Wife (almost as good as the book!), Madagascar 3 (da duh duh duh duh duh AFRO da duh duh duh duh duh CIRCUS),and 50/50 (really well done but so sad).
Other books I have enjoyed include A Journal of Mortifying Moments: A Novel by Robyn Harding which was great fluffy chick lit, I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella which was EXCELLENT fluffy chick lit, and a book about Stepparenting which was "eh".
I am teaching summer school a few hours a day (super easy), taking a grad class (also not too bad if I keep on top of all of the work and don't procrastinate!), writing some summer IEPS for extra cash and trying to take care of the house a little better.... maybe one day I will be domesticated... maybe...
2. Ryan has been home!
I can't remember how much I have blogged about this in the past, but Ryan's new job has been requiring him to travel for extremely long periods of time. We were lucky to have him home for about 10 straight days this past week. He had requested some time at home to go to his cousin's wedding, and then was able to stay a little longer.
Among other fun things, while he was home we made good use of our Dorney Park/Wild Water Kingdom Season Passes (heading up twice).

| That's Isaac on the right.... |
We made it to another Reading Phillies game-- this time a double header that ended up going into extra innings. An eternity for a non-baseball fan like myself, but great fun for Ryan and Isaac.
Although we had great fun when Ryan was here, there was a little bit of pressure to make every moment fun and exciting and thrilling before he had to leave again. Our life has sort of become dealing with being apart and then trying to cram over the top fun into every second before he has to leave again. I miss regular life as a threesome. Unfortuneatly, it looks like once he wraps up his current assignment in Charlotte, his next stop will somewhere in Wisconsin until mid-September. So looks like we will be in the current cycle of saying hello and then saying goodbye for quite a while.
3- Isaac Updates
Isaac has officially finished first grade, which I suppose makes him an unofficial second grader. I can't believe how grown up he is. His summer is consisting of soccer, soccer and more soccer. His travel team is having twice a week practices (I just bit the bullet and ordered him over 100 dollars of uniforms for travel!).
He is one of the tiniest ones on the team, playing with nine year olds, but he is fast and scrappy. He was very frustrated playing intermural soccer this spring, so I am excited for him to play more competitively with kids at a higher skill level. He is also enrolled for about 5 different soccer camps so he will have lots of opportunities to hone his skills, run around and get out of the house.
Hope things are well with all of you!!!
