We never know what the weather will be like for the Sole Challenge but this year it was warm and sunny. Tonight Mason started with a short run along the river and then he competed on the middle school team in the challenge course. He had his flamingo ready before the race and later it […]
I’m sure it was not easy for Laynie to be away from Sophia so we kept her posted today with lots of photos of our escapades. Sophia slept well and when she woke up, Mason gave her a bottle. The boys were not too excited to leave her but they knew they were going to […]
We made it to the last day of school! We had our final mass of the year. The 8th graders graduate tonight so they passed the flame of leadership to the current 7th graders. I got a little teary. How is it we have an almost 8th grader and an almost 5th grader? We didn’t […]
What a treat to see the kids get recognized for their efforts from the Sole Challenge! Walker won a raffle prize for a new party zone in town. Mason received a gift certificate to Sky Zone for a fastest finish in the 1.9 mile race for fourth grade. Our principal, Mrs. Whetstine and Mr. Wagner […]

That an eventful Christmas concert this was! The band concert preceded the vocal concert so Walker had to be at school early to warm up. Mason and I secured seats on folding chairs between the sets of bleachers and we waited. A few minutes later, Mason excused himself to get a drink of water. […]
Where did the summer go? Their bags were (over)packed and ready to go. The school was abuzz. Mason’s fourth grade teacher is Mrs. Rogers. She is friendly and kind and word on the street is that she can do the splits! Mason was one of the first students to spy his music teacher’s homage to […]
Last night was the second annual Sole Challenge race at St. John’s. Last year we were missed it because we were otherwise committed to attend a very special nursing ceremony so we were ever so much more excited about this year’s race. To rally the school spirit, anyone who was participating could wear the Sole […]
Apropos to First Holy Communion, Mason’s class colored these sheets and folded them accordion style. It is so clever how the image changes depending on the direction from which it is viewed.
