Our Story

Ben and I met in 1996, began dating in 1999 and married in 2001. Now 20 years and 2 children later, we have returned to where our life together began. Ben works for the Federal Reserve and I have the privilege of staying home with our two precious boys.

September = Cub Scouts

Well, we did it. We are scouts. Ethan is a Tiger and I am Co-den leader. NOT my desire, but that was the way it worked out. We are part of a VERY active Pack and I am still adjusting to the busy-ness of it. School started the second week in August, by the end of August we had already had our first Den meeting and the following week, our first Pack meeting. They were easing us into things because by mid- September we had already had several community events and were beginning our first fundraising campaign. WHEW! And we haven't stopped yet.
Our first event was Patriot Night. Our Pack was responsible for the opening flag ceremony. The boys did a fantastic job representing our Pack and honoring our heroes.

After the flag ceremony, Ethan changed clothes and he and Caden got to take pictures with some of our local heroes
 
Our next event was the Gwinnett Braves game with our Den. The boys had a blast! There were dirt bikes and other off road vehicles set up outside the stadium and...
a hay ride around the parking lot. Look at this silly face!
Then the boys all went inside the stadium and each got their own GBraves cap before settling in to watch the game!
A couple of weeks later, our Den met the local Daisy group on a Sunday afternoon to go on a nature hike through the Mill Creek Nature Center
What a busy start to scouts!
And you should see what the rest of my calendar looks like!
