Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
First, yesterday went well and Samantha’s big yucky tonsils – and adenoids! – are gone! She’s pitiful but recovering. I think a day full of hearts and love – and maybe some ice cream too! – will make her feel better!
She took her Valentines to school on Monday and they were Taylor Swift themed, of course!
Spencer took the same Valentine he and Maxwell have taken the past few years – why mess with success?!
Roll Tide and Happy Valentine’s Day!
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…
Proud of Maxwell for trying something new!
California pics to come but have to document our 3 day weekend turned 7 day weekend! School was cancelled last Friday because of a thunderstorm that never materialized, they then had Monday off for MLK day, then Tuesday was cancelled because we were covered in ice, and then Wednesday cancelled as well after all that ice melted and refroze! The kids were loving it and I was too. I love having all my babies at home.
(Yes, our tree is still up. I’m not mad at my procrastination this year as I loved having it up while stuck at home!)
What’s been even nicer is that Robert has been working from home too. No one I’d rather be stuck with in an ice storm – and stuck with for 16 years!
Happy anniversary Robert. I love you and our busy, crazy, awesome life!
Lots of Christmas fun around here!
Samantha went to a Christmas craft camp and made some great creations…
Spencer got to go caroling in the village with the 5th grade…
Samantha was looking super swiftie for holiday sweater day at school…
She had fun at her class party…
and then I had fun watching her class during the teacher luncheon! We “elf’d” ourselves, played stick the nose on rudolph, and made it through a few exciting rounds on bingo!
And can’t beat a Christmas PJ day!
Finally I had some fun holiday lunches with friends!
Holiday fun all around!
What’s up with Maxwell these days? Well, he got a haircut!
Know what else is up with Maxwell? He ended his first semester at the JH with all As! He rocked all of his exams – he got a 94% on his advanced math exam, a 100% (!) on his advanced english exam, a 97% on his science exam, a 98% on his civics exam, and we’re still waiting on his spanish exam grade but know it will be muy bueno! Amazing! Proud doesn’t even come close to describing it! Way to go, Maxwell!
