The last couple of weeks have seemed such a blur. It seems to have rushed by amid of flurry of track meets, field trips, volunteering in the library at school, guitar lessons, and school carnivals. Today it all came to a happy and welcome close with the last day of school. There was a chapel service and Seany's kindergarten graduation, followed by cake and tearful good-byes to his amazing teacher. We then spent our first hours of summer vacation enjoying a lovely day at our favorite book store with a dear friend and her daughter, followed by a yummy lunch.
Last weekend we drove to Chicago as a family to watch Brenna run with her teammates in the state track meet. (The boys and girls teams each brought home the 2nd place trophy!) It was held at Condordia University. I thought the campus was lovely. It was surrounded by beautiful old shade trees and lovely old neighborhoods.
A track meet can be a long and grueling day (even for the spectators). Little Sean just does not have the patience to sit and watch race after race after race. Fortunately for us, there was a small playground near the track and we would take him there periodically throughout the day to help alleviate some of his boredom. While he and Brooke were playing, I began to notice the interesting patterns and textures on some of the nearby buildings. These pictures are a collection of images that caught my eye that day.
Now that school is officially over and we have the summer to look forward to, it seems as if I can finally take a breath and just enjoy whatever we want to do without so much of a sense of urgency.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend and that you, too, have quieter, more relaxed days to look forward to.
blessings and happiness,
Athena
