Family Photos from Summer 2022

I LOVE our family photos! These were taken at The Breakers this past summer...some will end up on our Christmas card, for sure! 

Girls' Trip to Texas and Good-Bye to the Suburban

I was blessed to be able to join my friends in Austin, Texas this past weekend for a girls' trip. My group of college friends - there's a bunch of us - meet once a year to bond and catch up. We haven't been together since September 2019 (just after we found out we were moving to Florida). 

Nicole, Caroline, Emily, Peeps (Anne), and me

(in front of a camper with the word "Roo" on it) 

Jill, Kristi, Amy, and Emily

I'm only including this photo because of the funny photo bomb! That guy on the right!

myself and Emily

me, Emily, Melissa, Caroline, Amy, Kristi, Anne, and Jill (in white)

Nicole and I, looking crazy in face masks

the house in Austin where we lived from 1980-1994 (it's had a facelift!)

my best friend's house that hasn't changed one single bit

While I was in Texas, Ben shot an elk in Colorado.

Lainey's friend Summer with Belle (just a funny photo)

Gracie...

Exhausted after playing with one of her favorite friends, Maple. 

We sold my Suburban! We have had this since the summer of 2017. It has been through a LOT (including Ben's West Nile infection...it did a great job carrying that wheelchair around for months!). It kept our family safe for 5+ years...thank you, Suburban. :)

Walker made this photo of Gracie. :)

August and September...

As we've gotten into the routine of school, sports, and dance...we've managed to squeeze in a few fun things, as well. :) Not many, but a few! Ha!

Walker's Little League team getting honored at City Hall

sweet little baby owls that I spotted outside a dog park (of all places) near Cooper City, Florida (where Lainey's new dance studio is!)

Ben went dove hunting in Texas.

Lainey has a sweet little sis at dance named Angelina.

Lainey and her friend Summer looking thrilled at the Freshman orientation at her school... :) 

Gracie, being the weirdo that she is.

That's our recap of August and September (so far!). :)
