Another chapter of a Morin summer has come to a close. Our summers go by just so fast and we treasure every last drop of the sunshine, carefree routine, and togetherness. I asked each of the kiddos what their favorite part of this last summer was....Here are their responses from Summer 2019.
Drew: Wearing short sleeve shirts and shorts.
Ellie: All of the trips, Nickelodeon World, and Noah's Ark
Luke: Baseball trip, all of the trips, playing outside and relaxing
The last few days of summer!
Ben took the kiddos on a bike ride to the Cider Mill! They saw Ayrton on the way so picked him up and came too!
I headed out to Royal Oak for a girls night! Ally's husband is the manager of the place we went to so yes we will have everything on the menu, yes we will try all of the drinks, and yes we will be the last people to leave at closing time. So much fun!
This weekend was Luke's first game he played on his new travel soccer team and it just happened to be a tournament! He played 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. They walked away undefeated and won the tourney! Luke also got 2 goals!
Monday, Labor Day, at the Salvation Army. Yes, we totally shop for our kids at the "TSA". Look at that cart!
After lunch, we completed our yearly grade-level reflection sheets. Here they are looking back at their old reflection sheets in their school binders.
And here we are. The first day of school! Pics are inside this year because it was still so dark outside! These early times. Grrrr.
4th Grade (In a 4/5 split this year)
Teacher: Ms. Pas
2nd Grade
Teacher: Ms. McConachie
Preschool (Last year at NC3!)
Teacher: Ms. Meghan, Ms. Taylor, Ms. Carrie & Ms. Jessie
A major shift happened at our beloved NC3 this year. Mr. Todd and Ms. Mary who started the Preschool 40 years ago retired and guess who bought it and is now running the school?? Meghan Zeile! We are the luckiest that she started us off on our daycare journey when she first watched Luke out of their home and now she is ending our journey by preparing Drew for the magical world of Kindergarten!
Here's to the best year yet!
Ellie is starting piano this year!! She has practice every Tuesday. Thank you, Aunt Cathy and Uncle Tom!
Sweet Luke change the sign for her 1st practice.
Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends baseball still reigns.
Ben still loves coaching!
We are all adjusting to our "new normal" with our schedule and routines. Drew is so my kid.
Ellie wanted to try gymnastics this year. We talked to her about not being able to dance and gymnastics and she still wanted to switch. Monday nights are practice. She LOVES it!
Ben took Drew on his first Daddy & Son trip to the doughnut shop downtown!
Welp, it wouldn't be a Morin start of the year without someone having to go in for surgery. This year, Luke won the spot. Poor kiddo. While on our baseball trip Luke got a stye in his eye and we didn't think much about it because it was a stye, it didn't bother him, and it seemed to eventually go away. Fast forward to a Sunday morning back at home and when he woke up the same eye was swollen. We took him and they gave us eye drops and a referral to a pediatric eye specialist. After 3 visits, hot compresses, and different eye drops and ointments, the styes had multiplied and weren't going away. And this puts us here at Children's downtown Detroit to remove the styes from both of his eyes.
Luke was diagnosed with Blepharitis and this is caused when the oil in the eye isn't lubricating the eyeball as it should. His cause was the balances were off in his oil because of his body changes. That's right...Hormonal changes! EEEEK! My baby, I'm not ready for this!!!
Yes, hormonal changes but he still hold his bear, Bennett, for comfort and all seems right in the world.
When Luke woke up afterwards and slowly reached his had toward my face, the tears just dripped down my cheek.
We love you so much, sweet Luke!
