Hope everyone else had great first days, too!




The summer break is coming to an end. I can’t say “summer is ending” with a straight face because of course it’ll be summer weather here in Houston for a few more months. But the lazy afternoons at the pool are coming to an end, as school starts this week.




I have not picked up my film camera at all the past couple of weeks, but that will change soon. More film to come.
The past two weeks for us have been all about swimming. Lyle took two weeks of everyday lessons at Houston Swim Club, and I am blown away by how much he improved in just ten lessons. Now I know why everyone raves about HSC. My kid, who two weeks ago was afraid to put his face under, is now gliding underwater and swimming freestyle. They teach them to do four “big arms” and then turn over and float on their backs to get a breath. His form needs some work, of course, but he’s doing it!
