Thanksgiving 2023

We had a fun Thanksgiving with the Jump family in Kettering. There was a lot of laughter and competitiveness playing charades and spoons.

Thanksgiving Eve

After working a couple of hours on Wednesday, I took the kids to the new smoothie shop in Lewis Center and out to a few stores. Later, we had a wonderful dinner at home and shared what we appreciate about each person in the family. We also decorated the basement tree.

Basketball Cheer Begins

Basketball cheer has begun! The first home game for the 7th grade boys was colorful with intense coaching and a Bruin player flying over an opponent.

Emerson's Fun Days

A few great days for Emerson! He finally got to have kindergarten class pal Luke over to play. We had a mommy-son date at Quaker Steak & Lube. Plus he got in 10 seconds of yoga: "Can we turn it off now? I've had enough of calmness."

Athens Getaway

A big thank you to Grandmas Jo and Lovie for helping with the kids so Seth and I could enjoy hiking in Athens and at Clear Creek Metro Park!

Before & After Braces

What a difference! We appreciate Dr. Minga and Kit's opportunity to be one of his first patients at his own practice.

Kit Awarded at Volleyball Banquet

Kit was one of four freshman honored during the volleyball banquet. I couldn't be more proud of her for receiving the Bear Claw award for character, leadership, and competition.

Drab to Fab

The kids built a lovely hideaway when Karl, Nellie, and Josephine came to visit.

Trick-or-Treat

It was a cold, windy, and even snowy night for trick-or-treating! In the morning, Emerson lost his first tooth at Shell's.
