Fall Fun
This fall has been a busy one for our family and as we progress into November, our calendar is getting lighter and lighter (hence why I am now posting about our fall fun).
The kids have been busy with school and sports:
Charlotte went to her first middle school dance with her fiends and followed that by a sleepover, they had a great time!
Oliver has been busy with soccer and learned a lot this season from his coach.
Early in the fall we took a trip to a local apple orchard, picked apples, explored the farm and then took a stop by a local pizza and ice cream joint that is located in a gas station. Everyone was happy, including June!
We of course had to visit the pumpkin farm before halloween and took all of the necessary yearly pictures.
For halloween this year we had a chicken farmer and a death eater, same as last year (when you like your costume, you like it!)
We ended the fall season with Thanksgiving for 30! Here comes the Christmas season!
Fall Beaching
The kids had a nice long fall break this year so we headed back down to Atlantic Beach with Grandpa and Tiki. The weather was lovely, the beach was pretty empty, and we got to go on a few little adventures.
Finding fun creatures…

Normal beach things…
Atlantic Beach 2022
We had a great time last week spending time on the beach, at the pool, and with cousins! All bird photos are credited to Charlotte!
Of course, while we are at the beach we have to take beach pics, it has been fun to see how they have changed over the years.
Charlotte is Eleven!
Charlotte Gray Hess is officially 11 years old. The pandemic was the longest and shortest years of most of our lives and it is hard to believe that we now have a 9 year old and an 11 year old. We just had our first parent meeting about middle school last week, and this fall, Charlotte will be heading to a new school as she begins this next chapter of her life. Before we know it, she’ll be driving, talking to boys and moving off to college. But until then, we continue to love seeing her grow and mature. She’s creative. She’s smart. She’s compassionate. She’s caring. She’s a friend. She’s a leader. She’s musical. She’s artistic. She’s 11. Happy Birthday Charlotte!
Oliver is Nine!
Oliver James turns nine today and he is full of spunk, energy, and sound! He is always humming or singing, loves soccer, gardening and nature. He is one cool kid and we are glad that he is ours!
To celebrate Ollie’s ninth birthday he invited some friends from school over to take part in his carnival birthday party. All the games and the menu were chosen by him. We even had one of our lovely neighbors come over and do some balloon animals with the kids!
