Welcome to our World

Michelle’s high school hiking club is now official!  This hike (Lion Gulch - 6.6 miles - 1,354 feet elevation gain )  Hubby went in my place because I wasn’t feeling well but Michelle now has sponsors (high school teachers) signed up for future hikes.  Maybe since I work for the school district they will still let me come along when I can? Michelle also had me walking the dog in a new, beautiful location while she and her friend, Aidah, went for a run.  Maisie was in heaven being in a new place and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t walked her there before. Kate also had me doing things I had never done before. She and I met her friend, Willa, and her mom and little brother at Northeastern Junior College. She and Kate were thinking of getting their associates degree together there to save money. It’s a nice little place that is perfect if you play a sport or going into animal science like her friend, W, or just want to save money before transferring somewhere else. I think ...

Homecoming came so early this year that September seemed to last a long time!  Below are a few photos from the official end of summer: Danny went for 110 floors on the elliptical the night of 9/11 to honor the firefighters that put everything on the line to help others.  He is considering becoming a firefighter after high school and Kate even found a junior college a few hours from here that seems to have a neat training program for that.  She is looking into going there herself to save money while getting her associates degree and then transferring to another in state college after that.  I am excited to see both of them exploring their options. Michelle got to share about her trip to Asia with the Rotary Club.  The group made a presentation during a lunch meeting and all seemed to go well from what she told us.  This girl is so busy this year with SCLA, LYSO, Student Senate, Science Olympiad, and her heavy course load but is loving all she is doing.
