  • After work, I took the kids to St Bart's for their annual festival
  • Kids and I had a blast while Clint went to our nephew Drew's high school football game




Saturday - 
  • Week 2 of Dance - M is so happy dance is back in her life :)
  • Clint went to the Toledo vs Miami FL - team looked good for about 1.5 quarters but then got beat pretty bad - still a fun trip for Clint
  • Watched the OSU game and enjoyed that W!
 Leighton, Audrey and Maci 
Maci was buddies with these girls year 1 but since they are 1 year younger than her, they weren't in the same class last year - reunited and it feels so good!!
 Clint and His Home Town Buddies


Sunday - 
  • Back to Sunday School - we made it only 5 mins late which was amazing since we were RUNNING WAY behind this entire morning!
  • The local fire department was doing some cook out on the way to the parking lot so we got some quick truck pictures.
  • Ran some errands and then took our neighbors up on their kind offer to come over and swim in the afternoon - SO HOT HERE!!!!
  • Maci was a fish doing all sorts of cannon balls and Connor loved playing on the stairs - awesome neighbors and such a fun way to spend a HOT afternoon :)
  • Clint comes home tomorrow - YAY!
Love that View on Weekend Mornings!
 Was so excited to bring a book bag to Church
Likely Jealous of Maci wearing one every day HAHA
 Firetrucks!!
 While we swam - these goofballs drank even more and watched football in the OH
I have a few more interviews early part of this week and some all day meetings later in the week so will be another whirlwind week.  Clint is supposed to have a work trip but with Florence not sure what the plan will be.  M wraps up Junior Jammers this week and Connor goes along for the ride HA!

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
