22/365 Book Worm Buddies and more

Today the Upper School and Lower School club - Book Worm Buddies - got together for their year book club photo and I was there to capture it.

These are very lucky 2nd graders to have so many Upper School students who care about them.

Today is my birthday and it was a good day.

My husband gave me this lovely necklace - thanks Matt!

Then we had a wonderful brunch with my family before they left. I love eggs benedict. Miss you guys!

The rest of the day was quiet and just a little lonely. It's also a little sad when my family leaves. But Matt did take me out to dinner to celebrate and that was nice. It was a wonderful birthday weekend and I'm so thankful to everyone.

17/365 A full day!

Today we spent the whole day hanging out and doing fun things together in celebration of my family being here and my birthday.

he day began with geocaching. We found a couple of really clever ones!

Check out this one my mom is next too. It's a fake tree branch that flips open. Took us FOREVER to find.
