September 2021

What an incredibly warm fall we've had so far! We've been enjoying all of the fall colors turning on our property with new eyes this year, as we get to experience right from our own home. We've also been enjoying school, albeit a quarantine or two for everyone 🤪 Hadley's been busy with volleyball and show choir, Piper has been playing on the tennis team, and Bryndel has been working hard in 3rd grade and taking good care of the kittens.

Kyle has been busy putting in our yard! He looks like a regular farmer out there.

We also hosted our first overnight visitors, who were adventurous enough to sleep in the unfinished basement 😂

August 2021

It's official, we live in the country!! And, we are LOVING it ♥️

 

Country life wouldn't be complete without a couple of barn/garage kittens! Meet Calvin & Hobbes

All three girls also chose to get baptized at our outdoor church service this month!

And now they are off to school - freshman, 7th grader, and 3rd grader! It's going to be a great school year!

July 2021

July has been a whirlwind of fun and lots of packing for the new house!! We began the month with an awesome 4th of July celebration at the lake!

Now, only one week until we move!!

June 2021

It has been such a fun first month of summer! Feels completely different than last summer, and involves a whole lot more miles on my car as we run from activity to activity! Somedays its only 3 activities, and other days its 7 different places 😂 But, ALL of it is such a blessing!

Grandma & Glenn came to catch a couple of the last games of the school year.

They also happened to be here the day Hadley came home with the 8th grader of the year award!!!

All three girls attended FCA basketball camp; Hadley as a leader this summer.

We had a great Graham Family Weekend over Father's day!

Hadley started working at Kyle's office!

And our house is really coming along!

April & May 2021

It has been a fun spring with all of the girls' activities back in full swing!

Bryndel is playing her first year of baseball, and loves it!!

Piper is playing on a traveling basketball team, as well as playing softball.

And Hadley has been enjoying a volleyball league as well as her first year of track! Those long legs were put to good use on the hurdles & high jump!

We've also made great progress on our new house!

And, with a lot of elbow grease and help from these three sisters... we sold our current house in 36 hours! Praise God! 

March 2021

It has been an exciting month of watching the progress on our new home! The weather is getting more hopeful & springlike, and our middle schoolers will even get to go back FOUR days a week to school now! Whew. God is so good. 

We had a fun day at the farm!

Piper got braces!

Cyndy came out to see our house progress :)

We spent a lovely weekend in MN celebrating Easter!

And sometime, over the past year, we ventured someplace warm together!! In the current social climate, such details are best kept privately. But, we are strong, healthy, and confident that God's got this!! And, we sure had fun!
