First Day of School!

Can you believe it?!?!  Both boys are in high school!!!

They both did an amazing job jumping back into work.  They get extra points for school right now because it's hot and humid and our house is sticky and not the most comfortable to be sitting and writing...and that's an example of a poor run on sentence, but they are doing great!

 

Alison's 19th birthday

Ben made Alison this hilarious portrait of Maya for her some-day apartment. 

I got her a cute butter dish :)

And big news, Alison is switching jobs this week and begins work at Target.  Ben got her this sweater for her new job.

We had a family, plus Aaliyah, dinner of hawaiian kabobs and then funfetti cake.

Happy Birthday Alison!  We love you!

 

Maya at the dog beach

We have been talking about taking Maya back to the dog beach for years and somehow haven't made it happen.  We even had to rearrange some plans just to make this evening happen, but it was all worth it.  It was a perfect evening and so great to have some time with all of us together.

And we quickly remembered why we don't take Maya to things like this.  She might be an old lady now, but she is still so awkward.  She has a certain cry that she only does when her pack is in water.  She made this sound the entire time we were there!
