Hello, friends! This is Rachel here to bring you the blog update. We welcomed Nancy and Greg this week to hang out and do life with us. They made the trek up here to watch Evelyn compete in the Solo and Ensemble State competition as she was in one of the five groups that did well enough in the local competition to merit an invite to state.
After they left, Logan and I had a quiet moment where we reflected on what a wonderful visit it had been. There were all of the 'things' we did (shown in pictures below), and there were also continuous good conversations and the comfortable feeling of longtime friends just hanging out. Those moments are priceless.
In addition to the pictured events below, we enjoyed a Backyard BBQ with Marissa's family, breakfast dates, Ev's speech about 'Side Quests' that seemed to make it into multiple conversations, birthday shopping and dessert, an Improv night, lots of gardening, and evening walks. It was a lovely visit, and we are already looking forward to the next one!

Our current project got a lot of love this week with a few extra hands to help. Thank you for all of your hard work! On Saturday morning Nancy, Greg, and I went to the annual plant sale for New Vision High School. I am excited to put the wide variety of plants into the ground. I have never heard of many of them, and I am looking forward to seeing what kinds of flowers bloom!

Evelyn has spent a month planning a clothing swap at our house. She set up an army of volunteers, invited all of her friend groups, and advertised on Instagram. 75 or so people showed up, and it was a wild success! Nice work, Ev.

Jackson has been taking a photography class in school. He is loving it! Everyday he brings home very expensive cameras to experiment with. Lindsey is a very willing subject, and I like the feel that he captured in this photo.
Have a good week! |
