The end of this school year was busy and warrants it’s own post. Here’s a cool pic we organized at the elementary.

In addition to being on the PTSA board, I was also the yearbook chair. Getting these distributed was a huge relief!

Layla turned lucky seven this year. We celebrated with a mermaid themed pool party at The Club. At seven, Layla is a sweet, spunky go-getter. She loves gymnastics, basketball, swimming, skiing, piano and animals. Happy birthday, Layla Blythe. We love you!

It was a little overcast, but that didn’t stop the kids from hopping in

Some extra pictures from the Averys

This year Kieron celebrated a milestone birthday and we now have another teenager in the house. We invited some of his buddies over to share in the festivities. At thirteen, Kieron is still pretty calm and even-keeled, but we are also seeing more moodiness and boundary checking. Kieron loves cooking, baking and reading. He also enjoys swimming, skiing and riding his e-scooter around town. He is such a sweet, bright, sensitive kid, and we love him to pieces.
