Cedar Point 2022

We had so much fun at Cedar Point! Kit and Doc rode 9 coasters together, and I got to ride one with her. Winnie and Emerson were buddies and enjoyed many of the same things, such as the snake expedition, Peanuts characters, street dancers, and dizzying rides. 

Port Clinton 2022

Back to our happy place in Port Clinton!

My Vegan Soul

We had the best meal at My Vegan Soul in Sandusky. Everyone loved eating at this small, family business. Emerson and Seth got to check out a racecar out front. 

Flipping at the Point

Congrats to Winnie for coming in fourth on floor and seventh overall (in her age group) at Flipping at the Point. This was the regional tournament at Cedar Point Sports Center, and we got some great discounts for the park. Her bronze excel team placed sixth, which wasn't too shabby considering they only had three gymnasts competing. 

Leaving Tego & Playing Ball

We left Tego at Pet Palace before Emerson's tee-ball game. Emerson had a hard time leaving his best pal behind. "He looked so sad," he told us in the van. Fortunately, he rallied and had fun at his game 

COGC Camp

Winnie and Sarah participated in COGC team camp this week - the theme was "Survivor." They did penny challenges for charity, camper of the day, dances and skits, and skill work (Winnie almost her kip on bars). Teammates signed special pillowcases for each other.

Maggie!

Margaret "Maggie" Ann Kaelber was born Sunday, May 29 at 9:54 PM. She was 7 pounds, 13 oz. & 20 and a half inches. Molly, Maggie, and Matt are all doing great. 

Bowling Green Trip

Grace turned 14, and Jess and Andy hosted a cookout for her. It was also Aunt Berchie's birthday! We had a great time catching up with everyone and sleeping over.

Ninja Playground

The Ninja Playground in Sunbury is cool!

Winnie's 5th Grade Clap-Out

Winnie had a fun time on her last day of fifth grade. Her principal had so many great things to say about the kindness and responsibility of the first-ever Shale Meadows graduating class. The 5th graders enjoyed a bubble truck, indoor activities (it rained!), Cane's, Kona Ice, and the clap-out. Winnie got a little emotional, and Doc and I were there to celebrate and support her. 

The girls went to the Quattman's annual party, and then Winnie stayed over with Lydia.

Dinner with Grandma and Grandpa

Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for a fun time at El Vaquero and Blue Limestone. It sure is good seeing Grandma walking and getting out of the house!

First Anniversary of Gotcha Day

Tego has been part of our family for a whole year!

OVR Tournament

13 Emerald did great at the last tournament of the season. It's so fun to watch them when they are up against similarly skilled teams. They won against Miami Valley Phoenix (lost set 1, won set 2 with a final return from Kit, and won set 3 with Kit's serves being a significant factor). Then they lost again Puma. Their third game was against Spirit, and they won set one (Kit's final serves!) and set two. In bracket play, they came so close but lost both sets against the Bullets.
