Wrestling

February 7, 2024

As soon as football ended, Maxwell – and a bunch of his buddies – signed up for wrestling. We didn’t quite know what we were getting into but learned a lot. Practices were every day after school and meets were looooong. It ended up not being Maxwell’s thing – but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t good at it! He won several times in his weight class and the coach really encouraged him to sign up again next year. I don’t think that’s going to happen but it was good to give it a try! Some pics from the season…

swing dancing

February 6, 2024

Maxwell did a swing dancing class with other 7th graders a few weeks ago. It was two nights and the parents got to come up and watch at the end of the second night. Maxwell did great!

We had a room full of girls and they all had fun! There was LOTS of bracelet making going 0n (and the bracelets were a HUGE success thanks to GJ’s work organizing words into little bags and pre-cutting elastic!)…

Pajama Par-Tay-Tay

January 31, 2024

A few things that just can’t be beat:

1. having a birthday one day apart from your BFF
2. having a birthday party on your actual birthday
3. have that party be all things T. Swift!

We did all that and more on the morning of Samantha’s birthday. She and Frances had the ultimate Pajama Par-Tay-Tay!

I got the club all set up for the party with different stations – complete with appropriate lyrics! We had a Taylor bingo game, face gems, bracelet making, and nail painting.

Doctor report

January 25, 2024

Took the boys for their annual checkup last week and they are healthy, strong, and growing!

Maxwell is 5 feet and 1/2 inch and weighs 89 lbs. That means he grew 1.5 inches since last year and gained 8 lbs. He’s around the 25th % for height and 20th % for weight.

Spencer is just over 4’10 and 83 lbs. He grew just over 2 inches last year and gained 9 lbs. Spencer is 70th % for height and 50th % for weight. At age 11, Maxwell was just over 4’9 and 72 lbs so Spencer continues to track bigger than his brother.

Thankful both of these boys are strong and growing! Spencer had to get 3 shots and handled them like a champ.

Neither were in the mood for a picture…honestly we all really miss Dr. Walley.

Always thankful for good doctor reports!
