It’s been quite the month for Blake as he finishes up middle school! Full of so many fun “Lasts” and also some very fun “Firsts!” (See Florida Band trip) Dear Blake, Happy 14th Birthday! I love you so much. I am really proud of the work and effort and improvement you made at school this…
Compared to last May, this one felt easy breezy. But as I look back, we still did A LOT of stuff! And this post doesn’t even include all of Blake’s stuff! And last, but certainly not least: BolderBoulder2023!! Highlights include lamas, double fisting creamies, Superhero capes, and Josh scoring 15 pairs of socks at the…

First was the Rosa Parks bus stop which was right across the street from the former slave market. For whatever reason, the streets were deserted this Saturday in…
