September already?

How on earth did that happen? I swear the summers get shorter every year. I hope all of you had an awesome time and had a chance to enjoy the warm weather, spend time with family and friends, and rest up for all of the exciting Special Olympics events that are coming.
It's always funny to me that there isn't some sort of New Years Eve celebration for September. It always feels like a new year. Kids are starting a new year at school, and Special Olympics picks up again at full speed with tons of cool things to do. September has been a little sad for me so far because my baby has gone off to Kindergarten. He is such a big boy now. My 8 year old has also entered a new school, "where the bigger kids go", he says. Time sure does fly.

Anyway, tonight is the final night for our sailing program. What a blast everyone had. If you haven't checked out the program you really should. It runs on Monday nights all summer and you would not beleive the accomplishments these athletes have made. Incredibly exciting.

Camp is also wrapping up and Ian will soon be returning to the office. I have also returned to the office from 9-11 each day which is very exciting after nine years of working at home full time. The only problem was that after 9 years of working at home I had accumulated a lot of pairs of pajammas and not many work clothes. My husband wasn't thrilled when I told him I also needed to go "school shopping"!

Mark is busy right now on golf events...Individual skills on the 8th in Skowhegan, Unified tournament on the 12th in Madison, and Individual 9 hole on the 22nd in Auburn.

September also means that soccer is just around the corner as well as our annual state equestrian competition in Skowhegan on the September 29th.

And of course, plans are already underway for Winter Games!

One of the most exciting events this month is the world games in China! I will post a seperate blog on that with lots of cool details.
I really just wanted to check in. Have a great week.
