Birthday Girls

For the first time in fourteen years, we got to celebrate my nieces’ September birthdays. 

Mallory’s 14th birthday was last week. Caroline will be 12 this week. 

It was a low key celebration - just lunch and cake. 

And trampoline fun. 

Acceptance #1

Keagan applied to his first school last week, and he received his acceptance letter from Wingate through email today. Will he be a bulldog? 

College Visit

It was a late night last night for Keagan. I heard him come home at 6:15 this morning, and then we were out the door at 0830 for a school visit and a soccer game. We drove four hours into Alabama to a new school on our short, getting longer, list. 

We had Whataburger for a late lunch, and then we watched the first half of the Tennessee game at the hotel before we headed to the fields for our first Regional Premier League game. And it was a good one. Three yellows and one red card later, we came away with the 3-2 win. 

HoCo ‘22

This year marks HoCo #4 for Madi and Keagan. 

Aren’t they the cutest? After pics, they had dinner, went to the football game, and then headed to the dance. Here’s a throwback to eighth grade and their first dance. 

HoCo Proposal

“Make my heart smile at HoCo.”

Madi said yes!

Soccer in Knox

We were lucky enough to get a state league game in Knoxville again this year! Keagan and I left town early enough on Saturday to grab a late lunch with Evan in Market Square before the game in Farragut. While driving through campus, Keagan sighted one of the robots that delivers food - he’s still fascinated by that technology. However, we didn’t catch sight of Sinan the squirrel. I guess he was resting up after Thursday’s big game. 

Keagan’s team won with a score of 4-1. K had four clearances and two great plays up top almost leading to goals. It was definitely one of his better games. We are undefeated in state league play and play again on Wednesday night. 

Football is Back 🏈🍊🛡

Football is back! Evan was at Thursday night’s Vol opener and big win against Ball State. He had great seats on row 16 with the guys from the fraternity. 

Friday night Keagan was at his last high school Warfield Shield game.
