September 2023 Cross Country

It has happened, and it is wonderful!  I have both kids running cross country at the same time.

This is Grace's third year running, and this is Glen's first year running.

The girls always run first in the races.  Then the boys run about a half hour later.  

So Glen would cheer on Grace as she runs by.

While Glen was running, Grace would get back on the track and run beside him to help encourage him to keep going.

I think that was my favorite part of this season.   To see my two kids running along and working together.  Grace did not have to do that, but she did it almost every single race.

Sometimes Amy even went out and ran with Grace to encourage Glen!

I am so proud of these two.  Cross country is not easy but they did it and they did it together.

August 26, 2023 Lunch

I don't know what the celebration was, or if there even was a celebration.  However, a fun lunch of nachos with some great neighbor friends is always a good time.
 

August 22, 2023 A New School Year

 It is the start of a new school year.  Also, once again both Grace and Glen (and I) are in the same school!  Grace is in 8th grade and Glen is in 6th grade.  I hope for a great year for both.

August 16, 2023 The Fair

The kids always love going to the county fair every summer.  We try to go on a night were we can buy a wristband and they can ride as many rides as they want.

They were on so many rides this night, but I only got pictures of both Grace and Glen doing the slide.

This was also the time when Grace and Glen's cousin was living with us as they transitioned to their new home.  She was able to join us with the fun at the fair too.

 

August 13, 2023 Order of the Arrow

Well, she has done it.

She now knows how to make her sleeping items into a horseshoe.

She now knows about the ordeal.

She now knows about the wonders of the feast.

She is now part of the Order of the Arrow!

 

July 29, 2023 Neighbor Friends

It is great to have friends who are also neighbors.

It is even better when you can sit on top of their car and watch the sunset.

 

July 10, 2023 Scout Friends

 Grace's third time at scout camp.  Glen's first time at scout camp.  But a great time together along with some friends from their troop.  I am glad that they are enjoying this scouting adventure together so far.
