July 6 - Rocket Ships

Every Sunday is 'electronics free day' at our house-no tv, no video games, no computer, no iPad or iPod. Although our house becomes a disaster zone filled with toys, the kids are forced to get creative. This past weekend, Julia and Luke took old diaper boxes and make 'rocket ships.' They even made one for Jillian, adorable! They pushed her around the house and she loved it. 

In swimming news, the season is almost over. The big championship meet is this weekend and guess what? Luke qualified in the free at our last dual meet. Go Luke go!! So Luke is swimming free and back on Saturday, while Julia is swimming free, back, fly and 2 relays on Sunday. Go Orcas! 

In dog news, Amelia continues to slow down day by day. It absolutely breaks me heart to see her moving so slowly. She still takes a walk in the mornings but it's extremely slow. Jericho is now attending daycare three days a week and that helps with his behavior tremendously. We also took him to the dog park on Sunday for a few hours and he loved it. So..our new routine is a walk from 6am-7am, daycare 3x per week, long evening walk and Sunday at the dog park. He's still on the adoption list but we will do this until he gets adopted out because as we all know, he's one crazy energetic pooch!
