My Book Retreat

Once again, it's been a while since I wrote anything here. But I have been keeping up with the reading and keeping very busy with work and kids home on summer vacation.

My kids finished school; C is now a rising 7th grader and M is a rising 4th grader. They are both still avid readers and have already read several books each this summer. Since school ended, we've had M's dance recital, their piano recital, and we took a family trip to NYC. That was a blast! We went to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the World Trade Center, Central Park, Times Square, and to two shows: The Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. It was so much fun! I've been finding some time t
