Mike Lemich Happy Fall! Isn’t it nice now that the heat has Sarah and the kids took a quick trip up Back to school started with a bang. While we been turned down about 30 degrees? What a to St. Louis for a week to enjoy a “fall homeschool year-round, all summer! We wrapped up the summer by break” and cooler weather. They the extracurriculars having a family reunion with my side of the toured a farm, learned how to milk a seemed to start back up in family at a few beaches in North and South cow, fed goats, explored a pumpkin full force, and Sarah found Carolina. I am one of five kids, so I had a patch, and went hiking in the bluffs. herself to be the family great time catching up with my siblings and Sarah just started her 10th year chauffeur once again, each of their families (25 people total). While teaching at TWU as a part-time taking kids to and from we have never been to the Carolinas, we adjunct faculty in the dental hygiene soccer, gymnastics, golf, really enjoyed our time there and can’t wait department, teaching mostly online piano, art class, football, to go back in the future. One highlight from courses. and the list goes on and on. the trip was taking the kids sailing on a catamaran, where we got to see dolphins and watch the sunset (see picture for proof!). Anastasia and I went on a date to attend ‘Frozen the Musical’ in August. I felt like I was amongst an army of Mini Elsa’s, but the talent of the actors blew me away. I helped Carson, our 2-year-old, learn to ride his bike without training wheels, and he picked it up like a pro! I am always amazed at what these determined little kids can learn. Finally, I am also coaching Anastasia’s soccer team this year for the first time. I chose the team’s name ‘Fireballs’, which, if you watched the team play/practice, you would quickly understand why! We hope you find time to enjoy the season and experience gratitude for the little things in life.
