This Girl Can Play!

Woowee, has this child found her stride this year. She's excelling at being coached, she's learning and trying - and she's doing so well! She's loving ShortStop and 2nd...and she can fire on target to 1st like it's on fire. 

And she's an amazing encourager and cheerleader to her teammates.

Ok -so double headers on Sundays after church are brutal.

But she's worth it - and she's so fun to watch!!

 

Sparty On!

Even if they tanked against my beloved cousin's Gophers...we still had a ball. GO GREEN!!

 

Back to JBF and New to Suttons Bay

I got swept back in to my love of our local consignment sale and couldn't pass up the opportunity to stretch myself and try something new - like a new venue. 

We worked our tails off - walked sooooo many steps and had a ball. And we broke some records, too! It was fun to be back!

In the meantime, KK got her first field trip in - with COVID restrictions lifting - it was a marvel to get these kids out and exploring. Here, she's in Suttons Bay exploring water particles in the Great Lakes. What fun!!

 

Labor Day Love

Once more unto the lake! So happy to see the relatives that could make it - bummed about flights and life that gets in the way for those that couldn't - and sad but accepting of those that are no longer with us. 

This reunion is special on so many levels - and while it wasn't without a hiccup or three (Uncle L, I'm looking at you! Here's hoping you're healing well, we love you!), the love was still in the room. Or, in this case, on the deck. 

Until next time, crew!

 

First Days of School

We're back at it - again! Here's to 8th and 6th Grade - still in two different schools. But we're adjusting to life back on an alarm clock! (And, a quiet house for Momma!!)

 

Great Wolf'in It

Hubs, once again, had his summer educational conference at Great Wolf Lodge. Last year, we took the kids and I was exhausted!

This year, they brought a friend - and they left me alone! We even got some glorious time on the beach to see the Traverse Bay.

So fun!

 

Until Next Year

Maggie has had a sum total of ONE bath since she joined us two years ago - and it was last summer.

So - I felt that it was time we try again this summer.

As you can see, it did not go well.

Really not well.

I'm not sure she will forgive me/us! Oh well, we'll try again next summer!
