The Leaping Kennedys: May 2015
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2015. Girls on the Run. Last year, I was at the Cornell reunion when Clara had her "Girls on the Run" race. I didn't want to miss it again this year when it was Sadie's turn. But, I have to say I was nervous. I haven't run a race since I was pregnant with Max in 2005. In fact, I don't think I've run more than 2 miles since then. So, my goal was to run the whole thing, not stop, and try to keep up with Sadie. I was hoping adrenalin would kick in and it wouldn't be too bad. Saturday, May ...

The Leaping Kennedys: Bike trip and omens
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/07/bike-trip-and-omens.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. Bike trip and omens. Ann organized a really nice bike trip for the 3 of us. 65 miles up the Pine Creek Rail Trail. We set off Friday moring in good spirits. The first blown tire didn't get us down. Nor did a blown saddle bag or two. We found a little camp site 35 miles in, ate our rehydrated meals, drank some wine, and hit the sack. The next morning, there was the tire to fix, again. So Ann and I cruised straight to town to the hospital and Shel collected her boys and followed us.

The Leaping Kennedys: Packing for Weeks
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/07/packing-for-weeks.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Last weekend, we packed for almost a month. Sam will still be home, but the kids and I had to pack for a week at the farm, a day or so in Newport, a week in Boston and 5 days canoing in the Saranacs. And the kids were home for less than 24 hours between camp Kirkwood and our leaving for the farm. Kind of a whirlwind for them. We managed to go to a party at the Ville's and a baptism at church (Samantha's cute little sister) during those 24 hours too. Why Look at Art. Week at the farm.

The Leaping Kennedys: Week at the farm
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/07/week-at-farm.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Week at the farm. The kids went to Genesee Country Museum Camp. Clara was in the cooking camp, Sadie did the Hick Fin camp and Max did the farmer camp. It was Max's first year to go, and he liked it. He like shopping for summer paraphernalia more though. Missy was at the farm. We climbed down to the falls. And just enjoyed being at the farm. Someone found a snail, a rare sight around those parts. We used the kayaks at the pond. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why Look at Art.

The Leaping Kennedys: Summer starts
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/06/summer-starts.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. We started the summer with our "End of the School Year Party". It was a great chance to get everyone together. By the end of the night, the kids were pooped. The next morning, I organized the things folks left:. The last few years, when summer starts, the kids make "Centers" where they rotate through academic activities. The girls love to make the centers, setting time tables for "reading", or "science" or "computer time" or "free play". Summer time dog cut:. Wulu is so versatile!

The Leaping Kennedys: Mid summer ramble - a week at home
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/07/so-its-summer-vacation.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Mid summer ramble - a week at home. So it's summer vacation. And it's a little crazy. Every morning there is swim team. And then the kids get to relax and be creative. Its a nice change from the typical camp routine every other summer, but it is still busy. Then I took them all out for ice cream. And then we went to the school. Max and the boys filled up a huge glass jar with wine berries and were very happy about it while I worked on facilities type tasks. Now I'm driving Max t...

The Leaping Kennedys: Time at the farm
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/07/time-at-farm.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Time at the farm. It is always so nice to go to the farm. There is a mix of work and play, chilling and socializing. It always seems to go by quickly. Anna explored some of Melissa's dresses. Aunt Delma and Uncle Mike stopped by one afternoon. And we attached Grandpa Call's work bench, sending much of the items to the scrap yard. Mom is all about the scrap yard these days. The adults went to dinner at the LeRoy country club. It got cold so Sam covered himself up. Why Look at Art.

The Leaping Kennedys: Last day on my own
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/08/last-day-on-my-own.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Last day on my own. Despite having a very nice weekend and trying to have fun and pretend I don't have much to do, I have a ton to do. Tomorrow I start back at CH2M Hill. I originally wanted to go back the month Dad died in April 2013. But life on my own, with a higher rate and more flexibility, wasn't so bad. It lasted longer than I anticipated.

The Leaping Kennedys: Saranac Lake
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/08/saranac-lake.html
Monday, August 17, 2015. Last October, I sat in the car at the soccer field and waited while the kids played. When the clock hit 9:00, I could reserve the best camp sites on Saranac Lake. I had my wireless hot spot, computer and 3 different credit cards ready. I needed to reserve five camp sites for five families on one island on Lower Saranac for three nights and if I delayed, I wouldn't get it. I also wanted to reserve scattered sites on Middle saranac for two nights. To top it off, Kyle drove up and m...

The Leaping Kennedys: Kids to camp Kirkwood
http://leapingks.blogspot.com/2015/07/kids-to-camp-kirkwood.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. Kids to camp Kirkwood. Camp Kirkwood, the regional Presbyterian camp had a big sale this year. I could send all three kids to a week of camp for a very reasonable rate. So off they went. It was Max's second sleepover camp. But, Clara practically revolted when we got there and she realized she was one of the oldest. Max seemed totally happy with his accommodations. Sadie was happy at first:. Then we dropped off Clara to the teen area, and her mood rebounded. Why Look at Art. Sadie C...
