May 2023

 First day of summer camp 2023!


Annual last day of school ice cream!

Playing at the park with friends!


What started out as throwing rocks in the creek at the park quickly turned into full body splash party in our clothes. Kids were drenched, ate pizza in wet clothes, and ran around in the park to dry off (mostly) before we all loaded up in cars and went home. A fun summer evening!




Celebrating Steve's birthday!



Mother's Day!

Plant dissection project at school!

Max's baseball coach hosted an end of season party at his house, and he had all kinds of cool games instead of a regular dining room! The boys (and dads!) were in heaven!

Coach Jonathan even built this game machine himself!




We also had a team outing to our local minor league baseball team, the Gwinnett Stripers. It was a really fun evening, and extra bonus points with the kids because it was Starwars night, they made it onto the jumbo-tron dancing and cheering, and their team name was displayed at one point in the evening!





You have to look really carefully, but the kids are on the jumbo-tron in the next two photos!







Spring piano recital!



Celebrating Ben and Peggy's birthdays!



Chorus performance!

Best friends at summer camp for the fifth year in a row! (The Camp Half Blood design on their shirts is from a book series they both love.)



Grandparents came to a ball game!




April 2023

Two years old versus 10 years old!




Happy Easter!




The Easter Bunny found Max in Hiawassee!





 Max's class went on a field trip that included a visit to the Capitol Building in downtown Atlanta!





Uncle Richard and Aunt Becky moved to western South Carolina just a couple hours from our house, so when Grandpa and Amma came down for a visit we all reunited at their house. Lots of fun!

Crocheting with Amma!

Max and his friend Vihaan (and Benji!) ran the Boulder Dash 5K again this year!
