What we've been up to...

It seems like the last few weeks of summer vacation have flown by so fast! School is starting in 9 days! Last week Carter and Cami finished up their swim lessons. I am so happy Cami can swim well now and is able to pick her head up and take a breath. She loved doing lessons with her friends. The boys have been getting ready to go back to school. They had to get physicals done for school and we discovered that Cade needed glasses. So far he hates them and is refusing to wear them. The eye dr. said he doesn't have to wear them all the time, just to watch tv and see the board in class. But considering genetics, he will be wearing them full time soon enough. Everyone in both my family and Chris's family wears glasses or contacts so unfortunetly my kids don't stand much of a chance at good eye sight. We've been doing the traditonal back to school shopping for new shoes, cool backpacks and new uniforms. They are excited to go back and find out which friends are in their classes this year.

Stevie and Lidia came down for their summer break and it was fun to get to visit with them. We went to the lake Saturday and had lots of fun. The highlight was when we were leaving. We discovered our Tahoe had been blocked in by a suburban and a honda. So in true Torrance style, Chris and my dad proceeded to drop the boat trailer, hook up tow ropes to the suburban and pull it out into the middle of the parking lot where they left it for the owners to find! Definitely a red shirt day! (Whenever my dad wears a red shirt he always gets into a confrontation with someone. I think we are going to have to get Chris his own red shirt so they can get in fights together.)

Yesterday I went on a short overnight trip to California with my parents to visit my grandma and grandpa. We went down yesterday morning and came back early this morning. It was fun to see everyone and get to visit without having the drama of the kids (Chris stayed home with them!). Now we are onto the final days of summer vacation and squeezing in all the last minute things we wanted to do this summer.
