Here's Zarek at one of his tennis lessons.  We're up there at least 4-5 times a week.  Right now Jody has taken all the kids and one of Zarek's friends up to the tennis courts at his brother's house for practice.  He's been taking them all to practice at least once a week which is really nice for me.  I get the house to myself for about two hours. 

The weather has been so nice and cool except Tuesday it was 87 so we took off for the beach for a few hours.  We had a great time, the kids played in the sand mostly as the water was pretty cold.  It may have been our last beach visit for this year.  This weekend I need to go through the boxes in the gargage looking for jackets and long pants and shirts.  It was 70 yesterday and it was cold!  I think my blood has already thinned because in CT 70 would be a beautiful warm day. 

School is going well, Zarek is keeping up with his Sonlight core very well and I think he's learning quite a bit and enjoying it for the most part.  He has said all the books so far have only been "OK" but I'm hoping he reads at least a few that he really enjoys.

Children Around the World is going ok, I won't go off on my complaints about the program, of which I have many.  We are still having a good time in spite of it.  We're finishing up our Switzerland/Netherlands week and tomorrow we'll be have a cheese sampling and some Swiss chocolate after lunch and then enjoying raclette for dinner, which is a potato dish with melted cheese on top.  I'll post pictures if I remember to take them :)
