It’s been awhile since I have shared a Lately in Our Life post. I get so busy and I forget!

Gymnastics Update

Our son is still going strong with gymnastics and is now a level 8 and has a busy season ahead of him. Recently I shared videos from his mock meet on Instagram. His mock meet is in his gym each season about a month before the actual meets begin. He did really well and we are excited for his season!

Today’s Mock Meet is complete! These are his Level 8 JO routines, with some elements not entirely in yet, since they still have over a month to finalize the routines. He will compete these routines beginning in mid November. #krashthegymnast

Surprisingly, we have another gymnast in the house now. My daughter, who has not had any interest in gymnastics has suddenly decided she wants to give it more of a try! She has been doing a once a week rec class since she was 3, mostly for her physical education. About a month ago she asked to do more. She is now doing a class twice a week for 2 hours a time and LOVING it.

Grad School Update

My husband is in his final year of grad school and will graduate in May with his masters degree in Christian counseling! We are SOOOOOO excited for this! This has been a difficult season of life for our family and we are glad it is coming to an end soon. Having Daddy in school full time, especially with internships the past few semesters, has been hard on all of us. We are thankful for the opportunity and thankful this part is almost complete!

Bit of a Glimpse

My oldest son is really getting into photography, which is so exciting for me. I owned my own photography business many years ago and have taught him through the years. He has a great eye and I just love seeing his talent develop. He has an awesome Instagram account {yes, I am a bit biased}, where he showcases his photography.

A New Kitty

We weren’t planning on getting another cat, but we have one now. Meet Oliver ~ Ollie. He came to us thanks to a friend who found him as a baby and didn’t want him. We offered to “foster” him and within 24 hours we were in love and decided he could stay. He is NUTS and super sweet all at the same time.
