First Day of School!

Isaac started first grade today with a happy heart and a joyful spirit! He couldn't wait to see all his friends again!

Noah couldn't wait to get to fourth grade today. He said, "I've set some big goals of excellence for myself" and he's ready for some new experiences!

I started school today too! I'm the Math Facilitator at the boy's school this year, and I couldn't be more excited! School year, here we come!

Summer vacation wouldn't be complete without a trip on the Lynx light rail train to uptown Charlotte. We stopped for lunch at Pike's then continued on the light rail to Imaginon. We explored the new First Ward Park (right next to Noah's engineering camp building) and checked out a few books at Imaginon. Then, of course, we stopped for ice cream before riding the rails again. Today was forecasted to be rainy, but thankfully it turned out to be beautiful!

Webolo Adventure Camp

Noah and Matt are off to Webolo Adventure Camp for the next three nights! Isaac and I took Noah to camp and helped him get situated in his tent with his roommate. It was tricky to get the mosquito netting hung around Noah's bed, but we did it! Matt is joining the scouts tonight for dinner, and he will be sleeping in a tent next to Noah's. It looks like they will have lots of fun activities like swimming and canoeing. The temps are in the high 90s - 100 degrees, so they will also spend a lot of time cooling down after their activities.

Open for Business!

Noah is officially a business owner! He is selling cold drinks and candy inside the club house at our neighborhood pool. He has a wide variety of drinks for sale. The best part is that his customers can pay using their smart phone, so it Noah does not need to actively work at his business. He has learned that passive income is a great type of income! Today is his first day of business, and he is anxiously awaiting notification of his first payment.
