New School Year, New Schedule Juggling

We begin our new school year at the end of Summer. This picture was taken at El Camino Pines, an amazing summer camp both Chris and I were lucky enough to attend and work at in our youth. Heath went up for a week of camp with several other Middle School Youth and our new youth director at church Sean. He had a blast, and Chris and I were so excited he was there we decided to surprise him on the last day and pick him up! He showed us some fun things he did while he was up there and Kaylee was really excited to be out in the wilderness.

Chris and I kept talking about how much we love being up at El Camino Pines that we are planning on taking the kids back to a family retreat in November. I am really excited about it because the theme is Full.. Not Busy which I hope will help us become more intentional with our interactions to create and authentic life.













The new School Year started for Heath first, He is in the 7th grade now! I can't believe how grown up he is starting to be!

Kaylee is now in Kindergarten and both kids start around the same time so that has been fun juggling the two of them. Not to mention Chris is back at school so between all the school classes and my job we do a fair amount of creative scheduling to get through our week. I don't have a picture of Chris on his first day of class but here is one of Kaylee as she begins her adventure of school.

Kaylee has also started soccer this year and is doing pretty good, She has had one game and almost scored a goal, which is pretty good since she hadn't been to a single practice before hand!

I would like to give credit to my sister Malyssa for this awesome collage that she made of Kaylee's first game!
