September 2023

This year our back to school shopping was in Syracuse so the girls could have all the options Destiny USA offers!

  

The start of 7th and 8th grade:

Claire is trying out soccer this year and we are so proud of all her hard work and effort in working on something new:

At the end of the school year last June Claire won a bookmark contest at school and we finally got to see one!

A few other September happenings:

Stella is getting to close to completing her braces treatment! 

We attempted to grow cantelope this summer and one made it!

                                         

 

We had an afternoon free one Saturday so we ventured across the border to Cornwall to buy Peace Tea in 12oz cans, which we can't get in NY, and to visit Starbucks since we don't have nearby. We also checked out Spirit Halloween while we were there and Stella found a costume for this year.
