Art Show Wrap Up

Our last art show project was to visit Kay Lynn who wasn’t able to attend the art show but asked us to set aside some art for her to purchase. We stopped by this week to talk about the art she got and have a chocolate muffin. She also has a hammock and a piano. The boys enjoy both. 

We had a really nice visit. She’s kind of a mix of the best parts of both my Grandmas. Plus, she was a fraternity house mom for many years so my boys don’t phase her at all. She loves having them around. And she LOVES their art. 

Fencing

This is a summer of new experiences for us. Augustine decided he’d like to try fencing. 







He’s in the black pants. He very much enjoyed his first lesson. They didn’t waste any time. By the end of the first class they were fencing!


Every few classes each child gets pulled aside for some one on one instruction. 

Augustine won his bout 5-4 at his second lesson!

Augustine’s Summer Job

He decided to have a window washing business. He’s done three houses and a few cars so far. He likes the work and appreciates making a little money. 



He’s very thorough which I, and his customers, appreciate. 



He had a helper during one of his jobs. 



He has learned a lot quickly about best products, best time of day, best techniques, and money management. 

Lunch break

The brothers who have to tag along. Luckily it’s not hot yet. We won’t be able to tag along once the heat hits. 

Keep up the good work, Augustine!

New Priest

Liam is now Fr. Liam! He’s one of Logan’s old disciples and we enjoy his family a lot. Logan went to his ordination, and we all went to his first Mass and dinner. He was so happy and we had a lot of fun celebrating with him! 

Jumping Right In

We didn’t waste any time getting to the zoo once school was out because Lewis and I don’t do hear well. We have to go as much as we can before the summer weather holds us back. 



The splash stream is open again!!!







It was Levi’s first time experiencing the splash stream. He loved it and definitely fell in the deepest part of it, which is only a foot deep or less. 



Cousin Nick was in town, and Grandpa Mike has been wanting to walk the zoo with us, so we invited them both along. Dad hadn’t been to the zoo in over 20 years!

Levi has to see the turtles and the penguins, his favorites. 





I think he was trying to pose like Nicholas. 





The gibbon really liked Nicholas. We can hear them when we sit on our front deck. 

Ready or not…

Summer is here. My kids are notorious for playing school on the last day of school. 


Random, but this succulents arrangement is so pretty. It went to Lewis’ teacher. 

Nature Preschool Graduation

He did it! And he loved the experience. 

Mrs. I was a fabulous teacher and Elias likes her a lot. She’s a very creative, thoughtful teacher. 

The best friend.
