The Third Week of School

Nessa got used to us being gone all week by standing guard at the front door, Grace took on a Homecoming Decorating job that she didn't really have time for...tears!...after two soccer games on a Saturday we met D&R for a Poker Ride at Riverside...Grace went to Homecoming with Gill, Ellie, Colin, and Eleanor...Abby got an assist!...and Jeff & Ellie hiked Mt. Spokane SANS children. And that praying mantis found my arugula.

The Second Week of School

Practice pastimes, the ONE PEAR that our squirrels didn't get, Josh got messy at youth group, and another Sandpoint game for Micah WHERE GRACE DROVE! :)
 

Right After School Started...

Micah was so tired he didn't care if Nessa's butt was snuggled up to him...Grace cleaned Granny's place...we split up for soccer in town and Sandpoint...Linnea came to visit for Jess's wedding...and we killed time between games to drive up to Schweitzer! Micah's team did very well...got some hardware!

 

First Day of 2023-24 School Year!

10th, 8th, and 4th grades! An EVEN year!

 

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend started with PAPA GOING HOME!!! What sweet relief for us all, the next chapter of his journey opened. Mom has her work cut out for her...and it was a little bittersweet watching them drive away, down Argonne to get home. No one was more relieved than DAD! Mom sent a pic of him all set up in his chair when they were settled. Ahhhh.

We had a couple of days to fill with togetherness before school started...so you'll see the Taco Bell and de Leon's pics! And of course, TRAVEY TIME!
