Start of the school year!

 We've got a 2nd grader, 7th grader and 10th grader in the house! All three kids have had a great start to the new school year! Emmy and Ryan continue to impress me with their time management skills, study habits and dedication to getting good grades. Emmy's got a jam-packed schedule full of AP classes! Even though he never wants to go to school, Owen continues to have a good attitude and was nominated by his peers for the first superstar of the year! 

Traditional first day of school pics! 

Ryan got picked up by the Conki

Emmy rode her bike to school

Luckily I still got to walk this guy into school! 

Owen with Mabel and Jackson

Owen is excited he and Miles are in the same class this year! 

Summer 2024 - the year of the remodel!

 It's been 5+ years in the works but this year was the year for our remodel! We'd thought through plans, and then changed them again and waited 12 years for our permits and then finally we started! We we so fortunate to be able to rent Erin's mom's house around the corner for 4 months. Not sure how all five of us plus Sadie would've survived living through it while working from home!

We created a new master downstairs that includes a full bathroom and walk in closet :)

We split our old room so the boys now have their own

We created a "nook" to dump everyone's stuff

Created a new office space for me

We made some updates to the kitchen, including a new pantry! New backsplash, fresh paint, a gas stove/oven (finally!) and new garnite

Everything got a new fresh coat of paint, carpet, lighting and fans. We could not be happier with all of the decisions and changes we made :) 

The starting of our new master! 

The boys are getting their own rooms!
