First day of school 2022-2023



We started school last week--the first and only year that all six of our children will be attending K-12! (And also the reason that I am finally catching up on blog posts!) 



Kindergarten for Matthew



Fourth grade for Nathan 


Sixth grade for Luke (first year of middle school)



Eighth grade for Isaac (last year of middle school)




Tenth grade (sophomore) for Juliet





And twelfth grade (senior!!) for Abigail!

Juliet is 15!!



Juliet is 15!!! And another opting in for BYU mint brownies (dang those things are good). Here's the IG post I wrote on her birthday: Happy happy 15th birthday Juliet!!! Jules has grown about six inches this year and towers over everyone except Neil. She is either the exploding-with-energy life of the party or squirreled away with a book shunning everyone else—no in between!! Jules is a passionate reader and last year she won both the high school’s award for most books checked out and the local library’s award for the first kid to complete their high school book challenge (it’s designed to take four years; she finished it in about six months after she signed herself up—I knew nothing about it until I got the call from the library!). Juliet loooooves hiking and dislikes sleeping in tents in equal measure; she can’t decide whether she wants to be a veterinarian, librarian, or fashion designer (she sews all kinds of goodies for her siblings!) and she is the kind of person that you 100% want to invite to either your New Year’s Eve party or your book club teatime because she’ll make either a resounding success!

A few favorite pics of Juliet from the year...
