June This and That

We're not even halfway through the month of June, but we've already had a lot of good times!

Sand volleyball with some of her club teammates...

M, E, V, K and K

Kiera and some classmates are playing softball on the Westlake

Rec league. Here's Kiera (catcher) and Dave (helper coach)

Ty & Val came to cheer Kiera on at her softball game...

...grandpa too!

For Mother's Day, Kiera bought me a bunch of mini succulents

which I transplanted into our favorite tea tins to make a rainbow planter!

For the record, our two fave teas are the orange tin (Hot Cinnamon Sunset)

and the yellow tin (Yellow & Blue) which is a chamomile and lavender blend.

Got to spend the day with Leo and Lenny...

Here's Leo soaking up the sunshine!

They are cute (and lazy!) coworkers

Kiera tried CYO Track for the first time this year,

competing in the 400m, 200m, and discuss. Here are the members

of the 7th grade track team at the track banquet.

Girl Power!

Kiera and C on the paddle board on Lake Erie to watch the sunset

Another trip to the Lake, with G this time, but it was too choppy to go in

 

Last Day of 7th Grade

And just like that, Kiera said goodbye to 7th grade and hello to summer! The school year ended a day earlier than planned this year, on June 7th, a Monday. Because the year was basically over and grades were already submitted, we did something we don't normally do - a school night sleepover! Kiera had two friends sleepover. The girls went to bed around 11:30 and were up at 6:30. The school day doesn't start until 9, but they went to the local coffee shop, Mojo's for breakfast before school. 

A new look to our first/last day pics as our home reno is finally complete!

K+ MG + R = Friends Forever 

Love these silly pics!
