This is the first year that the boys and girls don't attend the same school. The boys have started Middle School and it has been a new experience for us all. I'm so grateful for the communication that we have.
The first day of school, heading to the bus stop:
The girls not far behind:
The girls got glasses this summer. Kaylee doesn't wear hers unless I remind her and McKay is really good about putting them on when she wakes up.
I love to get my camera out to discover that it has been used secretively by the kids... you never know what pictures you'll discover. Here are the girls apparently modeling:
This was our fabulous family fishing festival. We went cat fishing and had a great time and much success:
The fishermen poised for action:
I love the look on Kaylee's face. Kind of how I have a Love/Hate relationship with fishing.
First fish of the day:
McKay's catch. I love the picture of her and Steve coming back with a prize fish:
Notice Owen's face and gloves:
Griffin was the last one to catch a fish, but once he got going... he was unstoppable.
At this point, all three kids got a bite at the exact same time:
Our collection:
Everyone stepped in to help clean, after some helpful hints from the pro himself (Grandpa Bob) and some supervision (Grammy and Grandpa):
You go girl:
We had a big fish fry! I used to think I didn't like catfish... I've decided I was wrong because these were delicious!
Kaylee helping chop lettuce for our salad.
Mckay working on the tomatoes:
And what would a family update be without updates about the pets. Sophie and Otis are becoming great friends (Much to the dismay of Otis):
You thought I was kidding? Look how I found them the other day:
The boys had their first band concert this week! They did so good considering they had only played for a few weeks. So proud of them.
