Summer!

So long school year~ Hello, summer! You can look, but I'm not sure you will find a family more excited to be out of school for summer than the Ellis family. We had a busy weekend, but yesterday (Monday) came and we slipped right into our summer routine, complete with sleeping in, working out, and a fun afternoon at the pool. Ashley is taking a break from dance this summer and has started a tumbling class, which she loves. Can you believe she is officially a 1st grader? I can't. Where has the time gone? (sniff, sniff) Trevor is growing up fast too, and talking up a storm. He is not quite the fish his sister is at the pool, but he begs to "go fwimming" and is getting braver each time we go. And don't worry-- we actually supervise our children at the pool, unlike several parents (moms mostly) who dress their kids in those full-body, bomb-suit-looking things and hide behind their sunglasses while their kid fends for himself, splashing other pool patrons more than Shamu splashes the Splash Zone and klepto-ing pool toys to make Winona Ryder proud. That may be a whole other post. Anyway...

Last day of kindergarten!
