Goodbye Summer, Back to School - Kind Of

We have had a wonderful (slightly abnormal) Summer. Due to COVID we weren't really allowed to do our normal outings, but we still made do and we had a great time. 

Some of our favorite memories from the summer:

• We got married and became a little family
• We had lots of lake days with my family on the new boat
• We enjoyed some great beach days
• We got to see wild horses on the beach
• We rode in a helicopter
• We got to visit Boone and go hiking

Now it is back to school time - kind of! COVID is still making us do "virtual learning" so Blake will be starting the school year at home. Which is somewhat weird because Blake is starting at his new school, Richland Creek Elementary School. He will be in 3rd grade with Mrs. Roberts. We don't really know any friends there yet, but we will sure make some friends soon! We are also grateful that our best family friend Ashleigh (Hunters mom) works at that school as well. So we know we are in good hands. 

Blake seems ready to start 3rd grade and he seems pretty ok with learning from home! He is very concerned about "looking cool" this year - so I would say some things are still very normal. Haha. Hopefully we can all get back to the normal routine soon!
