January

The kids all kept busy with various indoor activities this month while we tried to stay warm and busy. Dad did a great job holding down the fort while mom traveled making sure everyone was clothed, fed and at school on time!

Avery (9 years, 5 months) - Avery kept busy in  two sports this winter, giving volleyball a shot. She definitely preferred basketball but we were proud of her for trying something new!

Parker (12 years, 2 months) - Despite many reservations, Parker had a successful first season wrestling even winning his bracket at the conference championship with a strong pin after being down big in points. He is also in the midst of basketball, having a blast playing with a bunch of friends from baseball.

Carter (13 years, 8 months) - Carter wrapped up his last season of Middle School wrestling enjoying it enough to want to continue in high school. He has really enjoyed the experience on being on this team and we are sad it has come to an end but excited to see what is instore.

Siblings - While the boys spent a lot of time on the wrestling mat together this month, Avery was excited to join them for a special service project to celebrate Lovett's MLK Jr day of service making sandwiches for the local homeless population. The boys also joined Avery and dad for a special breakfast at school while mom was out of town.

Girls Trip to Cancun

In an effort to stave off the winter blues, mom and some friends headed to Cancun for a long weekend of relaxation in the sun. We picked an all-inclusive, Adults only resort (Aqua Live) and never left taking full advantage of the onsite restaurants, nightly shows and activities like yoga, bingo, water aerobics, silent disco and DJ. We coordinated to perfection with our caftans and white jeans and planned our next trip before this one ended!
