Aidan now plays the trombone at school.
We see a lot of bad parking on our street and especially people who can’t parallel park. It got pretty awful one day, so Aidan went out on the porch to add a little music- sad trombone every time they had trouble.
We’re in trouble,
(Nick and Shirley sent us a gift of ear plugs a few days later)
It was a fat but un summer and now it’s back to school. This year in two different schools.
Aidan is in 7th grade. Ug. New school for him- Boston Latin School. His routine consists of getting up at 5:30am, meeting a friend at 6:15am and then taking the bus at 6:40am. He’s excited about a new school, taking Latin and some of the clubs offered. It’s a big transition but he’s ready. And luckily has friends that are joining him there too.
Brendan is in 5th grade. He’s not thrilled with extra science classes but this year has swim and music class is instruments. He’s got a great teacher and seems to be settling in.
I can’t believe how big they got so quickly. It feels like they were just going to Walnut Park together.
Summer officially ends when my birthday is over. I love birthdays. Chris is not as big a fan but we still celebrate.
For my birthday this year he took the day off. We relaxed in the morning (both kids had plans). Then we went to the Greenway and went on the zipline (I’ve wanted to do this for months!). We went to lunch at one of my favorite places- Barking Crab. Love the steamers and drinks (maybe too much!). We walked around the Seaport and had Ben and Jerry’s.
We had our usual family party that night with lots of laughs. It was a pretty great birthday!
