-Isaac went on Camp Roger's backpacking trip for a week 

-Nate, Stacy and Caleb ran the Heights of Hope 5k and Stephen and Lexi did the 1.5 mile kid run

-Isaac celebrated his 14th birthday! Soccer is his first love, but he enjoys playing basketball and baseball as well. Isaac is well-liked at school and Levi G is still his close friend. Isaac is smart, has a sly sense of humor, cares about others and is a fun/teasing brother to his siblings. We love you Isaac!

-Our family camped at Van Buren State Park for 2 nights with the Petersons camper. It was a fun trip down memory lane as we spent time around South Haven 

-Caleb began cross country

-Stacy lined up an internship at Fennville Public Schools so she can get the needed 500 hours working with children for the School Social Worker designation. She will work at Fennville 3 days/week and still do a training once/week.

-Nate was offered a position with the decommissioning company who will take over when Palisades closes in June 2022

-Kids began a new school year! 11th, 8th, 7th, 3rd and 2nd. Stephen is now at the Pine Ridge building in a hybrid Forest School 3rd grade. He enjoys being in the building with the other 3rd-5th graders- doing specials, playing on the playground at recess and the hot lunch! 

-Stephen and Lexi take piano lessons from Mrs. Munger. Isaac is too busy with sports practices right now
