September 2019 Highlights

September 3, 2019: The boys first day of school.  

Paxton starting 5th Grade and his last year of Elementary school

Versii starting 7th grade.

Kaden starting Junior year of high school.  

Pictures with Mimi and Papa.

We laughed at how funny Jenn looked squished between Moe and Kaden.

Josh and his Mom.

Poor Paxton went outside to pick some pears and got stuck in the tree.  

He climbed high up in the tree to pick a bunch of pears and then it got dark before he could climb down.  So here he is stuck because he couldn't see to get down and didn't want to drop his precious pears.  And we were inside watching a movie, so we didn't hear his first cries for help.  All of a sudden I heard a yell and we paused to go investigate.  We felt so bad, he was so scared.  But we were able to get him and his pears down safely and now he knows not to go out climbing trees near dusk and to always tell us first when he's going out in the yard.

September 10, 2019: Kaden saved a little baby bird from Cerin (our cat).

September 13: Versii hurt his heal playing at the trampoline park with friends.  

The doctors had him fitted for a brace to wear for a few weeks while it healed.

September 13: Ray and Darlene LeBlanc flew in from California to visit.  

Ray and Dar are like second parents to Josh, he lived with them for awhile when he was a teen.

We took them out to Salude here in Camas and introduced them to our friends Cassie and Glen.

We had a great time talking, eating and laughing!
