off to a good start

 So far things are going well.   They've been putting in time on some work, and have both surged ahead in math over the summer--no idea why.

And reading was much improved and there's some actual writing going on--not just him painstakingly putting down each letter as I tell him.

 And the weather was beautiful, so we went to one park or other for lunch almost every day.

 This is the park near the little pool, which is closed for the year.

 This made me laugh--going across the ball field, she kicked off her crocs and left them behind.

Another day, no pictures--we spent with my mom, goofing around and eating lunch at her house.   And that's about the end of that.  It's supposed to be 90 again today, and we're heading to Grandma's again shortly.

Onward.  It's looking like a fine year.    love, MOM.
