Ready for school!

August 9, 2023

I wish summer wouldn’t end but it’s back to school today! We went up to the Junior High on Tuesday and got Maxwell’s locker all set up…

Yesterday we met our teachers in elementary and these two had fresh haircuts for it!

They are both new to the school and seem wonderful! Samantha is excited to be back in class with her buddy again…

It’s going to be a great year in 3rd grade!

We then met all of the 5th grade teachers…and didn’t get a picture with a single one! After a little switcheroo, Spencer is very happy to be in Mr. Andrews class with many of his best friends! Spencer was really happy to see his best bud in the hallway…

It is definitely going to be a fantastic year in 5th grade!

Back to school, back to routine!

On pickup day I was the first parent to get to his cabin and I think this kid was really, really happy to see me. I know I was really, really happy to see him!

Spencer may not be the ultimate camp kid but he had a fun time and made the most of it and I’m so proud of him! Now it’s time for back to school!

Falling Creek

August 7, 2023

On Friday I picked Spencer up from two week camp at Falling Creek! He had a really good time…not a great time…but a really good time. This year he had a good buddy from home in his cabin, Harrison, and also a friend from camp last year, James. He played lots of basketball, made some cool things in blacksmithing and pottery, and even took up pickleball! He had a fun cabin with all really chill boys and excellent counselors! All around a big win!! He didn’t like the food and he got a little bored by the end of the two weeks but he’s still glad he went.

Drop off day!

Family lake day

July 25, 2023

We recently spent the day at the lake catching up with the Brown side of the family and it was so nice to have everyone together! The kids spent most of the day on the tube and we all enjoyed floating in the lake and visiting!
