Their first conference!

This last weekend, Ryder had his first MUN (Model United Nations) conference. He is the Secretary General of Operations and as a junior, it’s such an incredible opportunity to lead and he’s doing so well! I asked for a photo and hit his dad’s genes in response:

Thanks bubba!😂

It’s Officially Fall!

Since September 22 marks the Fall Solstice, we pulled out all of our house decorations. 

There are a few real pumpkins I want to add as we get further into the season, and I still have to pull out decorations for outside once Kit gets home, but with our favorite candles burning, our house feels ready welcome a new season!

Our Annual Family Fall Day 2026

 Our annual Fall day. Roger’s Garden, Starbucks holiday drinks, Shirley’s Bagels, shopping for Fall treats and books and smelling all the Fall candle scents. We always end the day with Fall/halloween movies and we eat our FAVORITE soup!

I love the chance that we have to make these special memories each year…
