Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

First day of school





















The little one was so excited the night before school that she just couldn't sleep! But, they all got up on time, lunches packed, and backpacks in hand as they headed out the door for their first day of school!

Beach Trip












It's our annual trip to the beach just before school starts.




We stayed at a hotel that was on the beach, but also had plenty of pools, a waterpark, and lots of fun playtime.



It was a great way to end the summer, but now it's home for orientation night!

Watermelon Summer


Our oldest LOVES watermelon! During the summer, we've gone through 3-4 watermelons each week. I finally gave up having a clean kitchen floor and settled for sticky watermelon juice spots.

She decided to do something different with this next one and surprised us all with a nice carving! She then added some grapes & freshly picked blueberries.
