A Quick Summer Wrap Up

 I'm not sure how we are already halfway through August, but today marks the official end of summer as college classes start back up.  The local school systems have been in class close to two weeks, which means Matt has been back at it already with a school of over 1600.  The South side of town is rapidly growing.  I can't begin to process having that many students under one roof, not to mention all the faculty, staff, coaches, parents, etc.  Be sure to appreciate your principals today - there is nothing simple about the job.  

 Karson was able to make some summer appearances here and there when she got some extended breaks from work.  Miles has been baptized with fire working in HVAC this summer.  It good to know exactly what you're getting yourself in to before committing to it long term.  He starts at SKYCTC today.  Isaac wrapped up his internship with Charles M. Moore on Friday and headed back to EKU Saturday with a carload full.  Matt was playing in a golf tournament so we weren't able to go to Richmond until Sunday, this time loaded down with even more.  

Our house is quiet again, and it feels strange. You never think about this stage when little ones are running around, but here we are. Since our kids are stair steps, they all left at once—and just like that, the noise and chaos are gone.  Don't ever take it for granted.

Today I feel the need to capture some of the lighter moments for posterity.  Summer 2025 has been exciting, HOT, and quick like always.
