I am mourning the loss of summer. Today marks the beginning of the kids extra-curricular activities. William has a soccer tournament this week. Lizzie (who now spells her name &#8220;Lizi&#8221;) starts Irish dance again today. Anna is trying a rock climbing course starting next week. She is really excited because it is a 12 week course which is about her threshold for learning a new skill. She doesn&#8217;t like to do things for long, but she doesn&#8217;t want to be considered a quitter. Sam has volleyball tryouts this week and is excited for a new year of athletics. And William and Anna, our last ones to play and instrument, are resuming piano lessons next week. We have a veritable graveyard of string instruments that makes me sad every time I look at them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have friends that moved to Washington D.C. and decided to quit all extra-curricular activities for the two years that they are there and just travel on the weekends together as a family. It sounds so amazing. And so unifying.<\/p>\n<p>Since we are talking about extra-curricular activities, I must share my favorite photo I have ever taken of my kids doing their stuff:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/livingfullonlife.instance.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MG_7871-e1534273511737.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2332\" src=\"https:\/\/livingfullonlife.instance.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MG_7871-e1534273511737-1024x930.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingfullonlife.instance.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MG_7871-e1534273511737-1024x930.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/livingfullonlife.instance.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MG_7871-e1534273511737-300x273.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livingfullonlife.instance.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MG_7871-e1534273511737-768x698.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School starts in a week.
