The End and the Beginning

Once again, summer came and flew right on by… (how does it always go so fast??)

While this summer provided a ton of opportunities to bond and have fun together as a family, I think we were all ready for the school year to start…

For one, the chance for our kids to see their friends on a more regular basis is of course a blessing, but the gift of structure and even time apart shouldn’t be overrated, either. 😉

And hey, it’s a whole lot easier to get work done when the kids aren’t running around day-in and day-out! 😆

This year we have an 8th grader, 5th grader, 1st grader, and a brand-new preschooler…

Here’s to a great school year!



Oh, and about those DQ orders!

  • Greg & Kate: Cookie Jar Blizzard (“Secret Menu” item – Oreo, cookie dough, and fudge)
  • Mary: Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Blizzard
  • Piper: Harry Potter Butter Beer Blizzard (“Secret Menu” item – Butterfinger, vanilla, and butterscotch)
  • Zoe: Cherry Misty Freeze
  • Blaise: Strawberry Shake
  • Grandpa Dave: Buster Bar Treat

YUM, YUM!!! 😋
