First Day of School

Yesterday, September 8th, 2020, was Sawyer's first day of school at Patton.  He is in 7th grade.  If any school can successfully navigate Covid, it is most likely Patton, and so we are giving it a go.  This boy is such a great human being.  We've had over 150 days of togetherness, and I am going to miss this punk.  



I am not going to miss this punk.  She is home with mom this school year.  Masks, hybrid classes, social distancing?  Not happening.  Ellyn and I took a nice long drive yesterday.  Every day, about 10 times a day, she brings me the keys or goes to the door and says, "seatbelt."  We accommodate as often as we can.  Since she was a tiny girl there are few things she has loved more than a trip in the car.  She has clearly mastered the teenage glare, she actually wasn't glaring at all, it's just great eye contact.

A New Family Picture that does not involve unshowered bodies or matching clothing

D-Day, 65 Years Ago Today

I am in awe of all of the brave men that fought on the beaches that day. Their courage is something I cannot even comprehend. I feel very privileged that our family was able to visit the beaches of Normandy and get just the tiniest glimpse of the sacrifice made by so many. I am so proud of our American soldiers, time and again they step up to the plate and do what is asked of them. Thank you.
