Project 365, Week 33

This was a week settling into our new home, getting four schools figured out, preparing for company and having a family weekend. Yay for summer!!

We are having so much fun with Junior Bible Quiz! The kids are all passionate and competitive...and energetic at 8:30 in the morning! :)

We love our game room and its fun to see the combinations of people and the variety of games.

So fun to have a last-minute dinner with friends.

I slowly wore K down and she agreed to do Crossfit. So we're starting together, until she gets comfortable and confident. Being fit and active and part of a community is going to be so great for her!

Sweet baby snuggles at the softball game.

Amy had a friend looking for a babysitter and she recommended my girls. When we went to meet the family, Avery took great care getting ready, showering and straightening her hair. I was struck by how grown up she's getting!

August 16

Nana and Grandpa John arrived from Florida and dug right in with the great-grands. We had a nice evening with family.

First fire!

August 17

More family time.

In the evening R came by with the baby. He's doing his best, figuring out this father/provider thing.

The evening before, in the middle of getting dinner ready for a houseful, I went and picked up two kids for a respite stay with us. We were told they had lots of energy, so first thing in the morning, we headed to a park to play for a couple hours.

In the afternoon everyone came over and Nana hosted her annual "Unbirthday" party, which is a big bash for all the kids, since she doesn't get to see them on their birthdays. The kids are always delighted and think its funny to celebrate their birthday when its not actually their birthday. The day usually involves a family wiffle ball game, too.
