Great job, Luke!

Cub Scout

Dylan has been so excited to start scouts. I didn't have any brothers, so this whole scouting thing is new to me. I feel a little bit like a fish out of water. He is in good hands, though. Luke loved being a scout, and received his Eagle when he was 14!

It's Official...

School is in full swing. The kids are both thrilled with their new teachers. Dylan has suddenly decided reading is the coolest thing ever, and Izzy is enjoying the challenge of some new subjects. It's going to be a great year!

Actually...

The post titled "DIY" should really be "Thanks, Luke and Anton!"

Luke is a pretty handy guy to have around, and now that he has figured out how to do sheetrock, I'll consider keeping him permanently (kidding). Anton painted all day on Saturday when he could have been hanging out with his family, so a huge thanks goes to him.

I'm so lucky to have a fabulous, hard working husband, and equally as blessed to have such amazing friends.

Thank you!!

Lake Mary

The kids love this hike. It's only 1 mile, mostly shaded, and the lake is beautiful. It's the perfect spot for a picnic! If you don't feel like packing food up the trail, though, a great alternative is a plate of gooey cheese fries and a cold diet coke at Silver Fork Lodge after you are done.
I didn't get any cheese fries on this trip, so I suppose I'll order double next time :)
