October 2022

Another busy month. The boys are loving spending time at SAC and both got an award this month. Milton was awarded Most Creative and Owen was awarded Master Builder. Damon did some diving. At the end of October I got to go on a field trip with the 6th graders which was rather chaotic, but it was a lot of fun for all the kids. The boys often play with Chuck after school and they all get along really well. The rule is to come home after colors plays at sundown. Damon got a new smoker and we have been having a lot of really tasty meat! The boys participated in their primary program too and they both did great.

Hilton Pool - September 2022

We spent a day at the Hilton pool using one of the PHR passes. This pool has a good slide for the kids. I spent most of the time there working on my literature review. Owen loves to take pictures with the underwater camera.

September 2022

Our first full month of school. We are all having so much fun going to school and getting back into our groove. I really love teaching my 6th grade science classes. The first few weeks are me just observing and getting the hang of the protocols. Damon did a two week class in Bethesda mid-month which was a really cool class for him but it was a rather difficult two weeks for me and boys to keep the ship afloat. It all works out. Milton lost his first tooth! At school, the same as Owen losing his first tooth. He was pretty excited to have a visit from the tooth fairy. The only bummer right now is that we can't locate his little tooth holder we had purchased in Germany back in 2015. It will turn up somewhere. I'm sure Milton put it in one of his treasure chests somewhere. The boys love our neighbor across the street who they get to hang out with at SAC too. The birthday of William McCool, the school's namesake, had one day being to dress up as some sort of astronaut. Milton was thrilled to break out his outfit and then the librarian had one too so a picture was unavoidable. Being so busy at school I didn't end up taking very many pictures this month.
