Preparing for School

So, Regan has already begun her senior year, but that doesn't keep Hudson from "spying" on her durung her classes online :)
We picked up most of the books for Lauren and Katherine. These are Lauren's books and supplies!
Looks like Daddy's architecture background might come in handy!
I believe this will be their favorite class...art :)
At least a few of the stories are familiar! It will really help when trying to read the entire thing in Italian.
These are Katherine's books
Poor girl, she's jumping in to complicated Italian right off the bat! I just keep picturing their English at this grade level and what it would be like for a new English speaker to jump straight to that without everything leading up to it.
Regan's watercolor class has started. Her first doodling assignments in watercolor...I think they are cute.
Hi, my name is Scout, and I like this bed better than my own.
This was a fun day!! We were able to go worship together at a church not too far from us! It's been awhile since we have heard some of these familiar praise and worship songs.
Separated for Covid...assigned seats...N95 masks required (they made us switch ours out to enter)...guys on one side girls on the other...not sure where this tradition has come from, but we've seen it at another location as well.
After service, they had watermelon...Hudson's favorite
Regan could lay like this all day!
First day of 12th grade and first day of kindergarten :)
Getting in as much game time with friends before school starts.
We got a message that a couple from Calvary was going to be in town for a few days! It was so good to chat and go out to eat together.
She's been a little nervous about starting a new school and what to do etc. We had to get some paper for one of the classes. We passed this shop that had two strawberry donuts in the display...it was just calling our name to try! It was actually one of the best donuts I have had!
Lauren said this was her first time to eat on the street like this. I wasn't planning to stop anywhere for food so I didn't bring my bag with our proof of vaccination inside. That's the only way you are allowed to eat inside places. It's ok, though. Italian culture is to eat outside anyways :)
Yum :)
Katherine trying to convince Scout that playing fetch is fun and that he shouldn't be so lazy. It didn't work.
We got to babysit for a little bit while his parents were at a doctor's appointment. Hudson's baby was his favorite toy. I wanted to hear him say "baby" so I asked him what he was holding. He said "Bob" :) That's what Hudson named his baby when we got him!
This was the other favorite toy. Hudson's kid friendly drone.
We might turn him into a Tennessee fan yet! (His dad is a big Arkansas fan)
He loved trying out all the big boy toys ;)
Benjamin finally got a hair cut! It's ALMOST as short as mine. haha!
We were heading over to our friends' house for dinner and game night. WE decided to make a fruit pizza to contribute! 
On the bus!
We all managed to get a seat! Poor Regan and Hudson. I've sat in those seats before and they are loud and hot.
Someone is excited to start some games. HAHA!
I just wanted to document Hudson's nightstand. He like things neat and organized and his favorite things out where they can be seen...his favorite things all involve charging cords :)
Cute picture. We were all ready for church, but missed it. We traveled for an hour, but the bus took a detour. By the time we realized that we were off track, it was too late. GPS said that we wouldn't be able to get to church until about 10 minutes before it ended. So, we took buses back home to watch Calvary online.
Well, just because we haven't taken a picture by this fountain...trying to get as many family pictures as we can!
Jonathan bought me this dress. He said he saw it out and he thought it looked like me. So, we ended up matching that day :)
