Back 2 School Countdown . . .

We came home to our garden still flourishing which brought me great joy!


The girls had their hair professionally cut for the first time in a year! They both had about 4-5" cut off and it looks so healthy and good!


Lots of thick hair on the ground . . . 

Turn up the volume - we are back home to practice piano again!
Kate - playing "A Whole New World" from Aladdin

Playing with friends we missed while in Colorado . . .


Fishing with Dad . . . 


School Supply Shopping - always fun! Even in a mask this year . . .

Kate being Kate - "I'm encouraging people to wear a mask!"

New kicks!

The Apple Valley Scooter Gang was back together!


Our 7 year old friend, Elaina, finished her last day of chemo after THREE years of intense treatment!

The girls decorated Mike's truck . . .

It was a celebration of LOVE and GRATEFULNESS! 
We love our Cure' parish community!
