I am long-overdue for a post! We finished out our vacation with some enjoyable time in Minneapolis. Abbie and Emily were able to get lots of biking time on the trails around the lakes. The weather was a bit warm, so Emily usually looked like a little red tomato after her rides, but she was a trooper about them. The fact that there was usually ice cream or some other treat included in the process certainly didn't hurt her motivation.

Just as happened with Abbie earlier this summer, Emily was spontaneously bit by the haircut bug. Somewhat unexpectedly, she demanded that we chop off a fair bit of her hair. I think it is a big improvement and she is happy to have a length that doesn't tangle as easily.

Now that we are home again, Emily has been relaxing and enjoying the final few days of summer. Although, as fate would have it, the final few days may be more days than we planned on. Her school starts next Tuesday, but they are not able to accommodate our request to have her online again this fall. As a result, we are exploring a different online option to keep her moving forward until we can get her vaccinated and back to in-person classes. Our hope is that we can get going on an alternative sooner rather than later, but we will see.
