This is Stormy. I think that is the name our girls made up for the cat that makes the social rounds in the neighborhood.

RACE Day
It was the annual RACE Day fundraiser at Lucia and Rose’s school today. They girls had fun with their friends.
School Pictures
The girls had their school pictures today and the picture company sent us their pics from previous years. I love seeing how they’ve changed.
Happy Birthday, Susan!
I swear we had a birthday party for Susan this year, but I didn’t take any pictures of the cake. We had people over on a Sunday evening. I was out of town in the morning and Susan and the girls went on a special picnic breakfast with Erin and Hope.
Cross Country Happenings
The cross country season is in full swing.
Music in the Park
This weekend we attended not one, but two Des Moines Symphony Pops performances at Water Works Park. The first night was a tribute to Billy Joel and the second night was Broadway dance favorites. Fun was had.
Susan’s First Day of School
19 years(?) after she finished her Master’s degree at Xavier, Susan is headed back to school! She is going to take a few additional classes at Drake to tag on to her existing Master’s so she can become a license mental health counselor. It should take a little longer than a year for the school portion. Go Susan!
Cross Country Dinner
We hosted the Valley Cross Country team for dinner this evening. A team dinner is a standard occurrence the day before a meet, but this week the meet is canceled because of the heat, which is also why everything is set up inside.
First Day of School 2024
Andrew Leaves for College
Andrew left for college this morning. It was his first time driving himself. His goal is to make it to school mid-afternoon so he and his friends can head into the mountains for a couple of days.
