Catching Up

As usual, life has gotten in the way of me keeping up with the blog. If I’m honest, if it were not for having the blog books printed each year, I would just completely give up on the blog after all we’ve had going on the past few months (more to come). But, I love having the books to look back on our years and actually have the pictures printed instead of just on the computer. So, I am going to slowly work on catching up to present day on the blog. I’ll start with a couple random pictures of the girls.

First up, Zoe got to meet Vanessa Brantley Newton, an author and illustrator for several books we love. Zoe said Vanessa’s daughter is named Zoe so she asked if she could give Zoe a hug because she was missing her daughter. We loved that her school invited an author who looks like her for her to meet!

Ava has been working on perfecting her pie making skills this fall. One assignment for her home life class for school was a pumpkin pie….DJ really enjoyed the benefits of that project. Her work is paying off because she won the family pie contest at Thanksgiving!
