End of the Summer

Fall is coming and our summer was a busy one as you can tell I haven’t updated the blog much.  This summer we went to the Zoo, Children’s Museum, boating with the Easthouse side, Mike went to Canada for a fly in fishing trip, cabin (JIV), had Great Grandma Gerrick’s 80^th birthday party, people over swimming, and walked the river in MSP.  Brecken has changed so much over the summer he can write his name really good, count to 70, spell his name, understands days of the week and months, knows a lot of the letter of the alphabet, and he is singing new songs all the time.  When I went to lunch with him at pre-school they were all in circle time and had to say a color in Spanish before they could leave to the table to eat and after that they had to all sing a song before they could eat.  It was cute and I was glad to see all the structure!  Brecken wanted to play tennis and soccer this fall.  We also have him signed up for Ice is Nice in Anoka, Swimming Lessons, and some art projects through ECFE.  We just booked our trip to Disney and we are also going to Palm Springs.  After going to Puerto Vallarta last year we are going to try to plan a trip each year.  The drawing that Brecken drew is of Mike dancing.  Mike was dancing one night and Brecken saw it and drew a picture of him at school.  The boy is really into Sponge Bob, Lego’s, Ninja go, Power Rangers, and Monster Trucks.  Lastly, Brecken out of the blue told me a couple days ago “I will always be in your heart” and he pointed to my heart.  Not sure where he learned that, but it made me cry
