If the sight of the blue skies…

Filed Under: Photography

fills you with joy

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,

if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive.

Forgot I never posted the photos from Prestyn’s Forgot I never posted the photos from Prestyn’s field trip to the pumpkin patch. His favorite part was feeding the bunny rabbits, he really wants one for a pet. His least favorite part was the corn maze. He ended up going in with his teacher and a few friends, they got lost and had to be rescued. He said he will never go in there again. 🤣

She lost her top tooth this morning while brushing her teeth. All of a sudden she stopped then turned her head and spit the tooth out. I was cracking up. She keeps me on my toes.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.
