Happy Graduation, Morgan!

Morgan Feather graduated! 

She received her diploma on a very hot, very long ceremony at Toledo Christian. 

It was a beautiful ceremony but I don't know if my kids agreed. 

Congratulations, Morgan! 

We love you!

 

Top 20 Banquet - Freshman Year!

 Imagine our surprise when we received the formal invite that Ava was invited to the TOP 20 Banquet! 

Ava studies hard and her grades reflect that. I just didn't know she did THAT well. Haha! 

We were all caught by surprise, even Ava, which I think made it that more special. 

It was a wonderful catered dinner followed by the Awards Ceremony.

Way to go, Ava Kate!

Middle School Honors Night and Choir Concert!

Maycember was REAL for the Houghtaling's! 

Middle School Choir concert and Honors Night! 

Addycakes did so well and we are so incredibly proud of her! 

She took to Middle School so well. Much better than I anticipated. 

We ended the year with a straight 4.0 and High Honor Roll all 4 quarters. 

Way to go, babe!!!

 

Baby Quinn

 Remember Holly?

 My little neighbor who graduated high school, college, got married?

Well, she just had a baby and I got to meet her! 

Baby Quinn. She has the longest legs I have ever seen! Haha!!! 

So precious!

Legacy Volleyball!

Addy decided to try her hand in club volleyball over the Spring. 

There were some major bumps along the way but in the end, she absolutely loved it and I was so incredibly impressed with her skill and grit. 

I think this may be something she will pursue in the future. 

 

Ava's Shins

Ava started to struggle with shin splints during Fall soccer. 

They seemed ok during basketball season, but as soon as Spring soccer started, she was in pain again. 

I called a sports medicine Dr. and wow, who knew shin splints could get so bad. 

There are 4 levels of trauma and she was between a 1 & 2 on her right and a 3&4 on the left. 

She was immediately put in a boot and all sports are halted for a minimum of 4 weeks. 

We are grateful we caught this early for her to -hopefully- be healed by Fall. 

 

Happy Mother's Day!!

We spent a beautiful Mothers Day at Maumee Bay for brunch. 

The weather was amazing so we stepped out and took some photos. 

John took this photo while we were driving. 

That AC in my car was pumping! Ha!

It was a pretty good day!
