Soaking up those last pool days

It's definitely weird without Kaitlyn around. We miss her. Addie looks like her from the back especially in the pool with her hair pulled up in a messy bun. It was freaking me out all day. We have always been a party of 5. Adjusting to her not being around is tough.

Addie and Jackson are good friends and I really love that they have each other. 

Siblings are the best.

SRD

Here we go! 

Waterproof mascara is on, plenty of Kleenex and we're smiling. 

It's fine. 

Everything is fine. 

The cafeteria is delicious!

How cute is she next to her personalized door sign?

Her walls look so bare, we are planing on getting some more things. 

The last supper at Kerbey Lane! So yummy!

Love you KP! We are so proud of you!!

Back to school and all the things

Oh my goodness this was such a busy time in all the ways.

 My heart was stretching and preparing to let this one live in Austin for her first semester as a freshman. Senior year is such an emotional beating. It really is. As soon as junior year is over. 

It begins. 

The count down is on. 

We had a lot of fun shopping for her dorm room!

Meanwhile it was back to school for Jackson and Addie as well. They were getting their Chromebooks and schedules and haircuts, etc.

It was back to school for me too!

I had professional development 2 weeks before school started to get ready for the student to come back! 

So much to do! This was a fun group though! 

A fun group of friends came and "kidnapped" Addie for a fun night before school started.

In n Out is always a good idea

Schedule time

All the pressure is off this big dog since he is sophomore the year. 

Addie's first year of Junior High! 

So excited about volleyball tryouts!!

Addie and Markham's last game with Set Sisters. It has been such a fun road. He has really enjoyed these years coaching her. Tough to see it come to an end.

Orientation at Texas looks like this....

 Here's KP living her big girl life.....gulp.

I'm fine. It's fine. Everything's fine.

I'm so happy for her! 

Capital Bridge bat tour!

The clock tower so big and bright

Awesome view of the capital from the tower

Silent disco!

These two places had Kaitlyn head over heels when we visited the campus. 

She said, "It looks like Hogwarts!" 

This was the dream. 

I just can't get over how happy I am for her.

You did it KP! You earned a spot.

The speedway!

She's got herself a little "girl gang"
