Reunited At Last

Good afternoon everyone. Back to work this week and it's been hell. Boss has been gone so like usual, everything has been lousy. Mia got to hang out with long time friends Gracie and Hannah on Tuesday. It was a warm day at the park but the kids had fun. Always nice catching up with them and their Mom. I think Mia would like to hang with Hannah one-on-one some time. Their Mom can't wait for the girls to start school again, which I can totally relate at times. Wish the girls had more time to hang out together. Summer just goes so fast.

Wednesday was art lesson day with Ella. We drew a jellyfish with pencils on toned paper. We didn't get to finish it, but she totally got the concept and I look forward to seeing how hers turned out. She is such a fantastic artist and wants to tackle another Harry Potter-themed lesson this week. I may be adding another kid to my art lesson schedule so we'll have to see if/when that happens.

I spent a lot of time video-editing our recent trip. I think it turned out pretty good. Wish at moments I would have done more video work. Still have to show both sets of our parents.

Saturday, we didn't do too much. The first Premier League matches for the season started so I watched Chelsea beat Huddersfield 3-0. Great match and awesome to see our new keeper in action.  Jill had to photograph her brother's friend's baby at the studio. We had Noodles later and watched some of a movie before Mia got tired. Today, they went to Illinois to help her friend Jacqui unpack so I had a few hours to myself to clean before I went to work.

This week, I have some graphic design work to accomplish, more photo editing, art lesson and I have the coaches meeting this Wednesday for Mia's team. We'll get the roster, schedule, "jerseys" and equipment for the season. Should be an exciting 2nd season of rec soccer. Mia's super excited to start, but I still need to do some work with her skills.

That's all for now thanks for reading!
