September


Girls camping trip!  I took my two girls and two of their best friends for one night of camping.  The friends had never been tent camping before, so it was extra fun to introduce them to something we love!


There was some imaginative play happening that was clearly enhanced by face paint =)


My dear friend turned 40 and celebrated by bringing some of her friends to the beach.  We spent two nights away and I came home feeling like it had been MY birthday celebration from the rich fellowship and fun that was had by all!


Happy Birthday Uncle Steve!  Matching Oklahoma hats and a german chocolate cake to celebrate



Meanwhile, Rooke was in Oklahoma, being doted on by grandparents and great grandNanas!  He got to go to an OU football game, took part in the IIWTCFL fantasy football draft (it's a real thing!), played disc golf with G-Daddy and Uncle Sean, and ate more of his favorite foods then he ever gets to enjoy at home!


We were all glad when Rooke came home!

Pretty Gretchen loves smoothies

Mother's Day date with Rooke: we had a disc golf lesson together, then grabbed açaí bowls and bubble tea on our way home

After asking for over a year if she can PLEASE learn how to play the violin, Bridgette is starting lessons!

Back to school!  In anticipation of our first day back at Unitas, we surprised the kids with a special dinner out.  It was a sweet time to enjoy delicious food together, and to talk about the coming year: still homeschooling with the support of a 2-day co-op.

First Monday back at Unitas!  
Rooke - 8th grade
Gretchen - 6th grade
Bridgette - 4th grade
Angela - second year at the Grammar 2 tutor




Double date night with friends to see hilarious Nate Bargatze as an early birthday present for Ryan
