Stuff

The kids enjoyed another sail this past Saturday at Lake St. Clair. I was in Atlanta so they didn't take the camera (for fear of dropping it in the lake). They actually got in the lake and George's comment on the phone that evening was "Mommy, I thought it was supposed to feel warmer when you get used to it, but my feet were like ice cubes!" Maybe he'll become a polar bear swimmer?! They were so tired out that Estelle - who always wears pajamas - slept in her clothes including her shoes.
But, they were troopers and got up to Ann Arbor by 9 AM the next morning for the JDRF walk. John was team captain for his company. I was talking to George on Sunday while I was waiting for my plane and asked if he knew what diabetes was - at first he said no but then proceeded to discuss Type 1 vs. Type 2 (for people over 70) and said there should be a Type 3 for grownups.
Estelle has been reading her Junie B. Jones books slowly but surely and George has already read all 6 of his Nate the Great books. He's re-reading Captain Underpants now. His bed is filled with stuffed animals on top of books.
I hadn't sent this article out to many people and was sent the link today so thought I'd share with you. Somehow the kids were interviewed on a day that I took them to yoga this summer.
