October 2025

 October filled my heart with exactly what it needed!!

Mexico with my family in October will forever be a memory we all cherish. Our kids are in their last stretch of living with us and I cannot help but have all the feels. It was wonderful that we were able to squeeze this trip in with just the four of us! Reeve did miss a few volleyball games, but not a huge deal in the big scheme of life!

Reeve had several visitors for volleyball! It was so fun to see some friends at her games!

We got to help Blair celebrate her 6th birthday! 

Reeve and I went to the musical together and we squeezed in some pumpkin carving with the boys.

Boys' pumpkin  on the left and girls' on the right.

I spend lots of time with students so here is what we have been up to lately!

We babysat Remi while my parents were in South Carolina. She had a blast with us!

My dad got to see his brothers while there! They definitely are getting older-ha:)

Some house progress!

September 2025

 September was mainly volleyball, working on the house, and we squeezed in a few extra activities--hunting and dinner group. Volleyball started strong, then we lost several in a row, and now we are coming alive again. The roster has changed quite a bit due to various reasons. It has been fun to watch them gel together. Reeve also earned lifter of the month-of course we are super proud of her. Joden moved on from one gal to the next and asked her to Homecoming at her school-ha:) As for the house, we are getting so close. Hoping to move in in November.  WE CANNOT WAIT! Finally, at dinner group the girls went and had some fun at TJ Maxx and Stolley Park. Love our GI family. These kids have grown up together and I couldn't love it more!
