Start of Another School Year

The staff had a party for Josh's 10 YEAR work anniversary and 46th birthday this August.

Two days later, we celebrated Jackson's 17th birthday!!

They got this combo gift, a ping-pong table!

First day of school, 7th, 9th and 11th grades.

FINALLY found time to get my hair highlighted. Ha!

My favorite hygienist Addie came back to work after COVID. This saved us from having to find someone new. So thankful!

My LOVES hanging out with one of their favorite people, Chloe! I call her Clo-Clo.

The office won tickets to a Charlotte Knights game from Dr Sellers, a local orthodontist. The one Jackson went to for his braces.

Josh was out of town visiting Andy. So I went with Colleen to the game. I took over her position at the office so she could retire, but she's still our IT person working from home. She teaches me so much and is an invaluable resource.

It was so fun to see everyone outside of the office. I finally got to meet Angie's soon to be husband, Matt and he was the nicest guy.

This is Wendy, Josh's amazing and faithful assistant. He has worked ONLY with her since we've been in NC.

Everyone stayed for the impressive fireworks show. So fun!

Sunday FUNday ultimate frisbee. The boys all have school friends who have joined. Even the band teacher, Mr Owens!

Josh, Addy and I took an overnight trip to Helen, GA. We hiked to Raven Cliff Falls 4.9m and explored the downtown. Our main reason for going was to see Andy Stanley speak about a controversial issue at Northpoint Church on Sunday morning.

Our new, very used car. We were all sharing but it became too complicated with Addy driving to the city everyday for school and now working at a coffee shop as well. Go Sis! We are so proud of her.

I love this picture of Josh and our next door neighbor John, who reminds me of Josh's dad. With all the cars we have now, Josh is learning how to perform minor maintenances.

Happy Halloween! What a fun crew!

This was the 1st year the kids didn't go trick or treating. Instead Benny helped Mimi pass out candy. While Aaron and Jackson went to friends houses.

Last Sunday the kids played airsoft with friends. Addy and her soul sister Norah.

Benny and his friend Preston after a muddy Saturday cross country meet.

Check out this studly guy!! I'm so proud of all the boys for running this year.

At the cross country banquet, Aaron was voted by his varsity teammates most encouraging. He also got the most PRs, personal records. He didn't beat Jackson but came very close.

Happy 15th Birthday to this handsome, sweet, happy guy!!

Only his sister would buy him a stuffy.

Aaron ended his birthday weekend with an ultimate frisbee party with these fun people.
