Xander and Clare

During my COVID quarantine in the basement, the X-Box moved to Xander's room and the kids shared it there.

What an exciting post-season our Celtics had!

After one of many, many, many summer high school basketball games in Lynden in June.

"Come out and see the sky, Mom!" But then he gives me this mean mug. 😂

Clare's 8th grade graduation. Not many photos because they were NOT into having any taken.

Last day of junior year.

Last day of eighth grade.

Father's Day!

Proud of this kid.

Taken right after Xander hit the go-ahead 3 with 20 seconds left to take the lead against Nooksack. Here, one of his training teammates comes over to "congratulate" him after the win.

There was so much excitement about Xander hitting that shot to win the game that I got zero useable photos or video. Kendall had just come down from the stands to give X a celebratory chest bump.

Final post-game team meeting of summer ball. On to fall!

When Corwin knocks and asks if Xander can come out and play, X usually says yes.

Some of the cul de sac crew hung out and played video games in our garage after the neighborhood fireworks fun.

Clare and the cul de sac crew in the middle of a giant nerf gun war during my work hours.

Off to his first day of work orientation.

I think Ian might be Xander's biggest fan. (Though there's a lot of competition in our cul de sac.)

We snuck up to Canada for a quick dinner a couple Friday nights ago. Summer weather had finally arrived!

Love this shot by Michael.

Xander took this on my phone. Sneaky.

Off to his first official day as a Target cashier.

Em sent X these fantastic ESPN/NIKE sweats from the post-season. Then, as a perfect troll, they also sent him one of the Warrior game giveaway shirts.

Last visit before braces come off!
