Michael's Home

Michael came home on Saturday afternoon. He did very well, second in his class. He was upset he didn't make first, missed it by one question. But he got all superiors on his 1059 "report card" and I'm very proud of him. He's home now for a few weeks and then he goes back again in September for another two weeks. The two weeks went by quicker than usual, having Lucas here for half of it, but the couple days before he comes home I always get real anxious and excited and miss him even more.

Saturday we grabbed some lunch and went for a short bike ride before settling in for the night with a movie. Sunday we didn't do much in the morning, just relaxed. On a whim, we decided to take another bike cruise by the river. We rode down to Aurora and stopped at a restaurant by the river. They had a regatta this weekend so we watched a couple races while we ate (outdoor seating is the best). Since we were down by the river, we ventured over to Belterra. We were hoping to run into Stephanie but we didn't see her until we gave up and were walking off the boat. So we chatted with her for a few minutes before heading out. We plugged $5 into the machines and of course didn't win anything. We're too cheap to be big spenders so we'll never be big winners. That's okay though. I get excited winning 40 cents. The ride along the river was beautiful. The water seemed bluer than normal and the ride was so relaxing. The weather couldn't have been better either. It was probably one of my favorite trips on the bike.

Now it's back to the hum drum of life. Michael's back to work and I start school this week. I didn't get everything accomplished that I had hoped to this summer, but it's okay. It was a good summer and I feel ready to get started with school again.
