10 days and counting

Gabriel just looked at the calendar and said, "10 more days until school" with a sigh. He and Anna still have yet to finish their summer reading assignments. So, on this rainy day, they are cleaning their rooms and then attacking their summer reading.

It has been hot lately, but not unbearable. We do have central air conditioning in the house after all, I'm sure people in South America and Africa suffer more than us pampered US citizens. We have kept inside and stayed cool that way.

Gabriel has made a tough decision to not pursue football. He has been diligently going to practice and has never been doing any plays. He is the smallest on the team and has seen that those that are chosen are larger than he. So, he had a talk with the coach and left the team amicably. He has decided (after 2 weeks of rowing camp) to pursue rowing or crew. He loves it. He will be signing up for the fall rowing program. I think it's a good decision for him. We are close enough for him to bike to the marina and his good friend Matt is joining as well. (So, I assume Matt will be over plenty before or after practice.)
