Harper's September included being the best super fan for XC. She is incredibly skilled at cheering words of encouragement. She also, somehow magically, convinced her dad to (finally) agree it was time for a new couch, and it is amazing. Harper attended a few parades, including SC Pride, and also marched in the HOCO Parade with her student council group. She loves her kitties, takes pride in self-care, and loves a good impromptu photo shoot. 💜

 

Bennett's September was filled with door knocking for Aric Putnam. He has learned so much, and his colleagues continue to be amazed that he is only fifteen. They are so good at honoring his bedtime, and closing Zoom meetings early. 🤣 He was very excited to document his first pay check.

He has recovered from the minor stress fracture and has been putting up some impressive times during meets. Still waiting for the sub 20 5k, but it's coming. 

Bennett is super involved in student council, and has taken on the lead coordinator for the parade. And, of course there are Sundays with P.

Celebrating Back to School with our favorite crew!

 

Back to school night for SMS - and once again, the locker is the most stressful part of the transition. 

You can do it, H. I believe in you.
 

Matt and I can be quite convincing, but this just might be some our best work. We were able to persuade Terrin (and a few other nay-sayers), to go reinstate our State Fair adventures. Not just 1 day, but TWO. And, ON HER BIRTHDAY! Either she is getting soft, or she just loves us that much. Regardless, PROJACs unite!!

It was good to see you again, 

 

It's that time already! The annual school shopping adventures with Grammy! They are getting taller, and their color choices much more bland - but the experience continues to be some of our favorite days of the year!

The above pictures are from the secret photo session, that was shot while Mom and I were out shopping. Harper and Bennett are so old now, they won't put on a show for us, but will definitely use their devices to document the occasion.
