May-cember is real! It is an exciting month full of fun, love, and memories. It is the season to wrap up all the activities, recognize all the achievements through the school year, and a time to reflect on all the great memories over the past school year. May comes in fast and furious and is always so bittersweet! The girls continue to earn straight A's, have upstanding character, pursue activities inside and outside of school, and serve in their community. Aubrey was recognized by her math teacher for her outstanding work and exceptional personality. This momma heart is proud to say the least! The school year ended with an "Enchanted Semi-Formal" dance which left my heart bursting with love!
One of my favorite memories in May was cutting the ribbon on Isaiah 117 House Brazoria County. We are so excited to open the red door after God planted this vision and dream 5 years. Two and a half years of construction, lots of prayers, lots of time and energy on behalf of many servants and volunteers and now we are serving kids in our community! God is so good!
School finished and we went on our first adventure literally days later - let's get this summer rolling! We went to EPIC park and met up with our favorite family - Liz, Ron, Kate, and Ellie. Always a special time as we create memories with them each year. From there, we rolled out to visit Grammy and Poppy in Florida for a week of fun, relaxation and tons of spoiling. Highlights include shopping, go-kart racing, pickleball, ice skating, pedicures and manicures, time at the pool, ropes climbing course, water obstacle course, poker and blackjack card games, and lots of great family dinners creating wonderful memories. We also enjoyed a meal with extended family - aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents and caught up with everyone's happenings. We had a great visit and look forward to our next time together.
In June all three had church camps. They lived their best lives at sleep over camps and deepened their relationship with Christ and friends. So thankful for these memories they build during these experiences. Avery continues to train for volleyball all summer long and finished the month off with club tryouts.
Two other memorable activities in June included celebrating Father's Day and our family trip to Wimberly, Texas. For Father's Day, we went to a new BBQ place in Houston and followed it up with a fun afternoon at cidercade. The girls made priceless and precious gifts for dad that are so very special. As a family we gifted him a poker table to continue to make lots of good family memories together. Towards the end of the month we rented a VRBO in Wimberly Texas. It was a great week of memories some of which included hikes, trail walks, an escape room, caverns, playing games together, watching a movie at the theater, exploring a new downtime, swimming in the river and more. We are so thankful for great family time and enjoying God's creation with the hikes.
