School Pictures

Another week, another 8 million things to do. First, I want to share the last 3 years of school pictures for each kid. I love to see how much they have changed in such a short of time.




 Azure finally got to start guitar lessons this week. She has loved it so far. Azure is a quick study. Today she told me to come listen to her play so she could twinkle my stars. She then played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for me. I'm so glad she is getting to play an instrument that she loves.

Lucette enjoyed her riding lesson this week. She also enjoyed playing on the playground during Cormac's cross country meet. She continues to crack us all up, usually unintentionally. The other day as we were driving home from school Lu asked, "Why is brown the worst color?" It was hilarious. 


Cormac did really well in his cross country meet this week. He took 11th. This coming week he will have regionals. He started practice with the Woods Cross High swim team this week. So he is a busy kid. 

Both Azure and Cormac had water polo games this Saturday. They did well. I got my stitches out this week. I hope that I will be able to get out of the boot soon. It all depends on how quickly my heel stops hurting and being a problem.

Tonight as Lucette said family prayer she prayed that she and Cormac and Azure would have a good week at school and that, "Mom and Dad would have a good week doing whatever it is they do at home." We hope the same for all of you. Hope you have a good week doing whatever it is you do.

Happy 15th, Cormac

 My kids are fairly disgusted with me and the fact that I've missed a few weeks of blogging. It has been a very busy few weeks for us with lots going on. So I'll do my best to chronicle the comings and goings of these kids. On October 4th Cormac ran in the State Cross Country meet. He did really well. He placed 26th overall and his team took 3rd place. We are really proud of Cormac and all his hard work. The very next day Cormac had a double header for water polo. Azure also had a game. In the first game Cormac got put in goal for a while. He doesn't love playing goal, but as long as he is in the pool I don't think he minds too much what position he is playing. They lost their first game, but won the second. Azure's team lost, but they played well. Because we are water polo obsessed and 3 games in one day was not enough, and mostly because Cormac begged for a ride, we went and watched the High School boys state game. It was an awesome game. I snagged this picture of...

Murdered by Pirates is Good

 I sincerely hope that this morning was our last early morning. It will all depend on what time our flights back home leave, but as far as touristing goes, we should have had our last early morning. We rose early in order to head to the dock. We had booked ourselves a boat tour that would take us along the coast so we could see the various caves that are plentiful in the Algarve. This is such a beautiful place. We donned our life jackets then went with the group to get on the boat. It was an interesting boat. Most of the seats you straddled like you would if sitting in a saddle. Since we were a group of 5 we had one of the only 2 rows. It was a tight squeeze and unfortunately we were in the back of all the others so the view was always full of people and their phones. Lucette was particularly sad that she didn't get to "ride a horse." We headed out of the port to the ocean. The towns along the ocean are all very picturesque. We even got to see a private castle. Our guide ...

This Random Island

Cormac says that I always threaten with, “That’s going on the blog.” Which is true. When the kids are being obnoxious during pictures I will tell them I’m putting it on the blog.  Today we should have been in Boston, but due to Flight Fiasco 2024 TM we ended up on Madeira. Prior to this week we had never heard of Madeira. The other consequence of the aforementioned Fiasco TM was that we had a 6:00 am flight which meant we needed to get up at 3:00 am to make the flight in time. For the past 2 months Ammon and I frequently go to bed around 2:30 am. Trying to get myself to sleep early proved to be impossible. Especially when I felt a fair bit of worry about sleeping in and missing the flight. I ended up pulling an all-nighter, but we definitely did not miss our flight.  The kids popped out of bed pretty easily all things considered. We got packed up quickly and headed down our 5 flights of stairs trying very hard to be quiet. Our Uber was already waiting for us. The flight was ...
