A busy week ...

School starts next week and we have been busier than normal trying to pack everything in before the end of the summer! Last week, the three older kids took a week-long sailing class on Lake Minnetonka and became quite accomplished sailors. What a joy it was to watch them on their last day, maneuvering their boats around buoys as they used the wind currents to guide them. I found myself marvelling over the fact that 9 months ago, our sons were living in an orphanage in Ethiopia, and today, Jayden was sailing a small boat on one of Minnesota's most beautiful lakes! Here are just a few of my favorite photos from their sailing class last week.
