School year 2023-2024

 We no longer have a pre-schooler. Kyle finished PreK at OLG and had a great year. He made a lot of new friends and his favorites are Leni and Esme, received the "Great ideas" award from Mrs McLeod and is ready for Kindergarten next year. Maeve enjoyed 4th grade with her teacher, Mrs. Sterne, and enjoyed science projects and book reports as well as the end of year report on the Great Barrier Reef. Cecilia finished out 2nd year with new sacraments and a great time with Mrs. Brekke. They are ready for summer!

Nashville with Kristin and Jay

 We went on a couple's trip to Nashville for Memorial Day weekend while Jan and Steve watched the kids at the lake. They had a great time at the lake and we enjoyed our time in Nashville as we hadn't been for 7 years. We stayed at the Omni and celebrated 40th birthdays. We ate great food at The Hampton Social, Husk, Yolan and Hattie B's hot chicken. We listed to great music at the Listening Room and just about all the places we went. They even had live music while out shopping where I got a new pair of cowboy boots at Freebird and excited to wear them more than my original pair from several years ago.

Cecilia's 1st Communion

 We celebrated Cecilia's 1st Communion on Mother's Day this year. It was a great Mother's day weekend where we played our 1st round of golf, saw flowers at the Arboretum, and had family over to our house after the 1st Communion. Eric made a wonderful steak for all to enjoy. We also saw the Northern lights from our house so that was really cool. 

Cecilia did a wonderful job reading a petition, too! She is the last one in this generation to wear the 1st Communion dress.
