strawberry picking

On the first day of summer vacation we went to a u-pick farm to stock up on fresh, delicious strawberries! I'm actually surprised there were as many ripe ones as there were...considering the not so wonderful weather we've been having here. We picked a lot of strawberries with some friends of ours. I'll probably need to go again to get more to make jam. Interestingly, this year we also planted a few strawberry plants at home and they have turned out soooo delicious. Way better than anything we picked or tasted at the farm! Hooray for homegrown food!

I'm Officially a Soccer Mom

This week my little boy has been participating in a UK International AYSO Soccer Camp. I wasn't sure how it would go, being that it's his first real soccer experience and he's so shy. But it's been great! His coach is from Scotland and he really likes her. She works really well with the little ones. They've been doing World Cup matches with other age groups at the end of each practice. It's really motivated him and he is having fun!

 

Last day of preschool

Marek's last day of preschool was last week. I just can't say enough good things about his preschool experience. We loved his guide. It's such a wonderful school. I could have kept him there for kindergarten with his same teacher. This was such a difficult decision for me. But I ended up enrolling him at an elementary school in town for many reasons. I still wonder if it was the right decision! I am just so grateful that he had the opportunity to have the preschool experience he did. I am so proud of him and how much he has grown!

best teacher ever!
