All the things!

Life has been a whirlwind lately so I will just hit the positive highlights as we’ve experienced deep loss in the last two weeks with the passing of one of our best friends. I’m not really ready to write much at this point since Zack and I are in shock and are trying to deal with our grief. I hope I have more words to capture my thoughts in the coming weeks… but for now…. Here has been the “good” for the Houstons…

Zander saved up and bought an electric scooter and loves it!

Maddox finished out his soccer season with a tournament last weekend. The final goal scored was by our Madman with a perfectly placed penalty kick! Onto basketball for this 10 year old!

We celebrated the Kennedy kids birthdays with treats at school and our annual zoo day!

Maddox got to help out at our school’s dine out night!

Zander started his volleyball season with a pretty big cheering section! I am finding I love middle school sports! It might be a challenge to get there after work but the atmosphere and camaraderie of his teammates makes for an enjoyable and exciting afternoon!

Happy Halloween 2025

Halloween was on a Friday this year! Fun was had at school and in the neighborhood! It looked a little different this year since Zander was on a youth retreat the weekend of Halloween so we had a smaller crew to trick or treat, just daddy and Maddox! We still have a ton of candy at the house!

Came home a little tired Sunday afternoon!

Maddox and I got to cheer on Eli at his games on Saturday while daddy was doing inventory at work and Zander was at camp.

Just to document… Zander practices in all kinds of weather… soccer this week was cold and wet! He made his middle school’s volleyball team so hopefully the climate-controlled environment of those games will balance out the outdoor soccer practices and games still ahead before the new year!
