When Ward visited us in Freiburg last month, he commented to my sister that I parent like a shark: keep them moving.

He’s right. I like to keep my crew on the go. This week we’re in Lincoln, Nebraska.

For the last few years, I’ve brought our kids to Lincoln each summer for swimming lessons. I had always planned on teaching them myself, but Thom responded much better with another instructor. Our Lincoln teacher is great. She’s tough and doesn’t baby anybody.

After Vinnie got her hair cut this morning, I took the girls to a great vintage clothing shop a few blocks away. Neither were brave enough to try anything on, but I think some seeds were planted.
