The Relaxation Begins

I have worked extra hard since January so I could rack up the hours I needed to cover the cost of the girl's daycare. They will be stopping in a couple weeks, and now is the time to take it easy on Mondays and Fridays. There are a few things that need to be wrapped up in the shop, but I will get to those whenever I feel like it. Vacation is beginning!

School is also really winding down, but it is supposed to be hot again this week so I don't really know how productive I can be. The heat dramatically reduced my capabilities. There are some things that need to be taken care of, but it seems manageable.

Amélie and Abigail both did something impressive this week while I was at work. Amélie spent a few minutes matching up numbers, putting tiles in the right order over a template. Abigail recognized the Mona Lisa in a video clip. Kind of fun!

Yesterday we had a really nice time with Karmen and Clifton. We met at the dunes near Utrecht and went to an American place for dinner. It is always a lot of fun to spend time with them.
