First Job!

 Charlie had a first job this summer (other than mowing lawns, watering flowers, etc...). He helped run the concession stand at the Girls Softball Fields! He loved it and the kids he worked with and the pride in doing something to help others! (And some cash!)

All-City Swim 2023-at Goodman Pool

 What a swim season! Colin participated fully in swim team this year and did amazing for his first time. He almost nailed the dive on the last meet of the year! Yay!  Carrie had some impressive swims as well and began to nail down her breaststroke!  We love Seminole Pool and the kids had a blast participating and making new friends. It is a great way to engage and exercise in a summer. 

"Adult" news

Nicki is still teaching part time at Sugar Creek Elementary School. She really enjoys what she does. She also subs on the days she doesn't work depending on the schedule of our family.  On june 1st, Adam is stepping back into Director of Planning and Development instead of City Admin. This is great for him and will allow him to focus on what he really loves.   

Madison Youth Choir (MYC)

Charlie sings with the Madison Youth Choir (Holst) in an all-boys group. They are beyond amazing. My heart is so full seeing such joy in these boys faces!   

Theater Galore!

Carrie participated as a Hyena in The Lion King through VACT this year. It was a fabulous show!  Charlie participated in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" through the Verona Middle Schools this year. He was Larry in the Glee Club. It was a fabulously fun show!  Both shows happened during the same week....so that was fun ;)   

Charlie turns 13! And Easter!

Image
Charlie is 13! We officially have a teenager. He is finishing up his 7th grade year and he is probably one of the kindest, nicest, sweetest kids out there. He is a brown belt in Karate, participates in musicals at school, MYC boys choir (Holst) and is President of his Student Council. He makes me proud in so many ways.  Happy Birthday dear Charlie. I am so proud of the young man you are becoming!
