Amelia's Senior Pictures

This gorgeous baby of mine is all grown up and ready to tackle her senior year.  

I don't really have the words to express the love we have for Amelia and how she fills our world but a part of my heart will be missing when she leaves for college next year.

Mommy the stylist...

Amelia even snuck in some amazing photos with her best friend, Whitney.

We love you BIG Amelia and cannot wait to see you conquer the world with your pheneomenal intellect, love for Jesus and your compassionate heart.

 

First Day of School

 

We felt very blessed our school district approved the kids going back to school in person this fall.  There were a lot of changes due to Covid with social distancing, requiring masks, less movement from class to class, nothing social such as lunch/breakfast breaks, pep rallies etc however, the whole family is thankful to have some normal routine back in our lives.

Senior Year

Ocean Springs High School

 

Little brother heading to the High School as well.  Lucky guy, his big sister drew him a map so he could get around the first day since due to Covid we could not do freshman orientation.

 

 

Luke Michael

Ocean Springs High School

9th Grade, Freshman

Addison Kate

Ocean Springs Upper Elementary

6th Grade

We were thrilled to find out Addison was in Ms. Manning's class this year.

Ms. Manning has taught Amelia and Luke as well and we were praying Addison would be in her class as well :) 

 

A little mask isn't going to stop this girl!

First day of school treat in the golf cart!

We also got "Hounded" the first week of school.  

It is a school spirit thing where your yard gets decorated with lots of Greyhound spirit!

Praying for all of our teachers, administrators and students this year to stay healthy!

 

More Blue Ridge Georgia

 

We hiked again, this time to Long Creek Falls :)

 

 

 

 

Such a beautiful hike and waterfall.  

 

Addison sang me Hamilton songs the entire hike back to the car.

Love this girl!

 

This trip to Blue Ridge could not have been more perfect.  Despite Covid restrictions, we were able to have an amazing vacation full of family fun and laughter.  We stayed isolated on the lake and in our lake house and it was just what we all needed.  We all enjoyed it immensely and hope to be able to visit again soon!

 

More Blue Ridge Georgia

 

We spent a lot of week relaxing and lounging, it was so fun!

 

Lounging on the pontoon boat.

 

Lounging in the hammocks telling secrets.

 

Love this guy so much!

 

My teenagers!

 

We found an epic rope swing and all the kids and even I did it!

 

 

Luke spent a lot of time fishing off the dock.

 

More campfires :) 

 

I loved paddle boarding because the water was so smooth, it was so relaxing.
