1st Day of School 2021-2022

Our Junior drove our Sophomore and her boyfriend to school this morning, leaving the house at 6:30 am. They also hit up Dunkin’ for a little pick me up on the way. Mommy drove Mason to school but he will be a bus-rider going forward. Even though masks are required, we are happy they’re back in the building- praying it stays that way for the year! 

5th Grade Here Mason Comes!

Mason is more than ready to have Ms. Beaton again for 5th grade. She will no doubt, prepare him for middle school. Here’s to a fabulous (and hopefully normal-like) school year! 

Pawley’s Island 2021

We ended our summer on a very positive note. With a sort of last minute “yes” to join Josh and the girls and Grammy and Poppy to Pawley’s Island, it was worth the 12 hour drive, to say the least!  Daddy couldn’t join us due to work and Jordyn was unable to drive down with us so caught her first-ever solo flight out of Louisville, to Midway, to Charleston on Monday, 7/26. She rocked out traveling alone!

We spent most days at the beach and eating at some local restaurants. Our favorite was Wicked Tuna. The salmon and sushi were out of this world!

We also enjoyed shopping at the Hammock Shops one rainy morning. 

We spent Tuesday of our vacation in Charleston where we enjoyed a cruise to Ft Sumter and a historic carriage ride tour through downtown. The O’Mahoneys were so helpful in navigating this trip!  I felt so blessed to have this time with the kiddos as I know times like these are numbered. They’re growing up fast! 

Raelee’s July 2021 Check Up

Raelee is improving all the time. It’s amazing how far she has come. To think this time last year, she was just getting back from her 5-day stay in the hospital, on steroids, and definitely not feeling herself. Only to the take another bad turn with fevers, loss of appetite, and feeling overall crumby. She is running (has now ran 7 miles), leading a very active social life, working, and getting ready to start her junior year. 

Her numbers were impressive upon her visit and labs with Dr Schmidt. ANA and Direct Coombs were both negative. Hemoglobin continues to rise, ESR and CRP are normal. She is off Cellcept, and we hope to keep it that way. She is strong. She is relentless. 💕
