What We've Been Up To

I've been quite neglectful of this blog for some time now. I start a post only to fall asleep or close my laptop because the thought of finishing anything these days seems too good to be true. This summer has been moving at the speed of light! Here's a small update on our "little" Laslos.

Brett completed the 5th grade this year with flying colors. I thank the Lord everyday for this amazing child. He learned the Oboe this year which is not at all an easy instrument to play. He also competed in the the Spelling Bee an finished an honorable 9th. Along with extraordinary marks on his last report card his tests scores from the state tests prove he is in the 99th percentile in his academics (which mean he scored higher than 99 percent of the students in the whole state of Illinois.) Bragging? Of course! He works so hard at all he does I couldn't be more proud of him.

Brett started the summer attending basketball camp, followed by a sculpture/ceramics art camp and then last week was a part of Willowbrook Warriors soccer camp. He loves engaging himself in all these activities and testing his strength, endurance and creativity. After the 4th of July he took a break and went to Michigan for a week w/ his Dad's side of the family. He's there now and having a blast.

Madison & Noah are getting to experience their first camp this week. They are in an adventure/exploration camp in the woods of Downers Grove. They absolutely LOVED it and couldn't stop telling us of all different senses they used. They learned about wildlife, plants and insects. It's really fun to see them so animated when talking about it.

Dylan has been a little down since he's not old enough for M & N's camp, but yesterday he got to have Grandma Laslo all to himself and attend story time at the library and spend time walking around town with her. Today he's actually spoiled all over again with Grandma H taking him to pet store to buy a new fish for Papa and just a little play time all by himself. He's really lonely without the other two members of the little Laslo tag team, but it's something he need to get used to as they will be gone for 7.5 hours everyday in the fall. It's going to be a learning experience for both of us.

Mackenzie Kate is walking all over the place. She seems to get bigger and smarter every day trying and exploring the world around her. She turns '1' this Friday. Another post for another day about my feelings on that;) She's been a trooper traveling around town to various activities for the little ones.

June was a busy month of zipping here and there and everywhere.
