This summer we have two trips as usual. This first trip fell into our laps after an acquaintance asked if we wanted the site way back in November, as someone she knew was cancelling it. We said YES. So it was just going to be our little family of four for the week, but thenContinue reading “Banks Lake 2019 Trip 1”

JT turns 11
JT turned 11! We started with a party with friends, Friday night at Ocean 5, for laser tag and arcade games. We hosted a family brunch on Saturday with JT’s choices: Jim’s French toast, sausages, and fruit. He got some awesome gifts and noticed that this year he received “no toys, only tools.” I guessContinue reading “JT turns 11”
Haley does voiceovers
Haley and I took a trip to the Novel Effect studios in Seattle in mid-July. She got to attend a business meeting, do a demo of their new app, and record her voice for one of their new books! She did a great job! On the way home, we were thrilled that Jim was onContinue reading “Haley does voiceovers”
Lincoln Rock 2019
We just love getting away for the weekend in our camper! I made reservations for Lincoln Rock State Park months ago and the kids were excited to visit there for the first time. Can you see the profile of my favorite president on the cliff face? We also got to install Jim’s birthday gift fromContinue reading “Lincoln Rock 2019”
Fourth of July
Our annual neighbors BBQ at our house was a wonderful afternoon of relaxing with family and friends! We started off with a few kids and people… And by evening, we had a whole crew!

Kristin gave me her login for her test results and so I was the only person who knew the gender… then we got some confetti canons and other treats from Hobby Lobby, made some appropriately colored cupcakes, and waited forContinue reading “Drew Gender Reveal”
Team Gymnast
She did it! Haley is now a Team Gymnast. Not that we are surprised by this at all… but it’s very exciting. Three years ago, Haley joined her gym as a level 1 gymnast, one hour, one day a week. She loved it. She decided she wanted to pursue being a Team Girl. When sheContinue reading “Team Gymnast”
ISTE 2019
This is my sixth year in a row attending the biggest edtech conference in the states, and it was certainly my busiest! Philadelphia is a beautiful city, and I saw a little of it as I went in between events, dinners, receptions, meetings, and planning sessions with my team. I presented six times, met withContinue reading “ISTE 2019”
School’s Out!
It’s always so fun to end a school year and look forward to a summer of playing, sunshine, and friends. We finished fourth and second grade strong! Within a day, the kids were hammering in the woods – building forts and getting dirty. We love summer in our neighborhood!
Father’s Day 2019
We have been getting out in the boat a little more lately, and Father’s Day weekend was no exception. On Saturday the kids came and we had a great time together, floating and skiing. I also let them take over my phone and take photos. On Sunday, we hosted a lunch at our house forContinue reading “Father’s Day 2019”
