Summer Break 2026: Week 3


The highlight of this week was Maddox attending the junior retreat with our church’s children’s ministry. He spent 3 days and 2 nights in the mountains enjoying games, bible study, and camp like activities while he was away from home. A bonus was that Emmy was old enough to go this year so M & Em got to experience this adventure together. Maddox would want me to add that he won the duck race for the boys while at camp. We missed M & Em while they were gone but fit in some fun in their absence. Zander and I went to check out Carmen’s family coffee shop before their grand opening on Saturday! We actually went twice this week and took Grammy, Grandpa and Maddox with us the second time. After our Monday coffee visit, we fit in a little pool time.  Zander got to go golfing with Grandpa on Tuesday while I spent time with my friend, Kristen. It is rare to have kid free fun. Also this week, Zander had his first legitimate birdie on a par 3 at his summer junior golf league. Zander went to the Dash game on Wednesday night with his youth group. I got to see Anna for dinner while he was at the baseball game. I have enjoyed some reading time this week and got some of the things checked off the to do list (including my yearly physical). The boys completed a whole puzzle on one of the really hot afternoons. They also got summer hair cuts to help with fending off the heat. Last weekend, we got to visit Zack’s best friend, Ryan, for a pool day. We got home in time to have the Stanwoods stay with us on their way home from their vacation. We haven’t been as busy this week and have enjoyed watching sports in the evenings (The Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in hockey). Beau continues to enjoy rest time with his favorite people!
