Carolyn celebrated her 17th birthday. Unfortunately the camera settings were messed up that week!!! She was in show choir camp and celebrated with her friends over lunch during camp.
Joel is participating in High school cross country. They race a 5K instead of the 2 miles that 8th graders do.
Anna and I went camping without a boy scout in site! (meaning we usually rely on their expertise!!) The boys were in Iowa City watching football and Carolyn was at a Youth Ministry retreat. We stayed in Panora (where Catholic Youth Camp and the retreat are located).
Here is Matthew in his room. He is in a double this year, but unfortunately his friend since 6th grade needed to take the year off to bring up his GPA (and somehow housing didn't get a replacement roommate in place)! His buddy hopes to be back next year and they plan to get an apartment with a 3rd friend.
Anna's fall sport of choice is volleyball!
Homecoming was last night. Carolyn went with a bunch of friends.
Joel also is playing soccer this year....which may have been a bit crazy given how much more intense cross country is this year. Going forward he will only play soccer in the spring.
