Hey friends! It’s been a hot second since I last blogged and I apologize for that, but I think my brain and soul and body needed a rest from anything “extra” once we were moved into our new house. What better time to get back into the blogging groove than now?
Just a heads up–I’ll be doing a few “recap” posts to catch up on things I’ve missed sharing during my hiatus. Let’s throw it back to Fall, 2017.
We ended summer with a birthday bang– Libby turned 9 at the end of July and Kyndall turned 11 at the beginning of August. Both girls opted for birthday parties this year and invited a few of their closest friends to celebrate.
First day of 4th and 6th grades. {Sidenote: K started out 6th grade at school, but switched to the virtual option in September. She is still enrolled at our school, she just takes her classes online, at home!}
Jase had dental surgery and because of his age, he was admitted to the hospital and put to sleep. He was such a champ and did fantastic during the procedure. {His mama was a nervous wreck.}
My grandfather (my dad’s dad) passed away. It was a very tough time for our family and the grief still pops up at the most random times.
Libby and I went on a field trip with the rest of 4th grade to our state capital. We had tons of fun and I so enjoyed getting to spend one-on-one time with my girl!
We took our annual pumpkin patch trip, this time to Lyon Family Farms.
Libby was voted into Student Council for the 2017-2018 school year.
The girls hosted their first Halloween party at our new house. We had a haunted hayride, a bonfire, and tons of giggling girls!
We dressed up as mad scientists and handed out candy at our church’s Trunk-Or-Treat.
Kyndall’s team finished out their soccer season as the Morgan County 12U Champions. This is most likely the last year these kids will play youth league soccer so we were all thrilled to end the season this way!
Justin and I had date night with some of our closest friends. Our date nights happen way too rarely and we are determined to fix that.
Not pictured:
- We hosted our first family Thanksgiving dinner at our new house, with a meal cooked completely by me. It was wonderful and delicious and oh-so-fun.
- We started working with the youth at our church and have fallen absolutely in love with these kids. My favorite part of being with high schoolers is watching them love on and lead my own children. I am so thankful that my kids have such great examples to look up to!
Stay tuned: Winter 2017 Recap.
