Xander and Clare

Wednesday, August 24, 2022

X has been hitting the workouts hard this summer, prepping for his senior year basketball season.

I don't *always* snap photos of Xander at work, but had to do it the first time I went through his line.

X comes down and checks in with me at work nearly every morning. I will miss this so much when he's back in school.

Celebrating a new PR on his morning run!

Last photo with braces.

This is why there are so few photos of Clare these days, ha!

New smile!

Rachele and Frank came for a visit and we had the best time.

Having so much fun watching our Mariners do well this season. (So far!)

Xander voted in his first election!

Clare wearing the Juliana shirt with my photo on it.

Putting the boyo to work at the gas station.

Okay, just one last time...

Clare decided they wanted a job in early August.

Worked a few shifts on the berry packaging line at Enfield Farms!

X still finds time to play with our cul de sac neighbors.

X and Paolo Banchero at one of the Seattle pro-am games!

X always remember the little neighbor boys' birthdays and brings them their favorite treat to celebrate.

X and three of his Squali teammates took part in a 3-on-3 tournament down in Arlington a couple weekends back.

So fun to watch them work hard. Can't wait for their senior season!

Squalicum High School boys and girls varsity players at the tournament.

Back-to-school shopping.

X camped out overnight in Seattle with a few hundred (a thousand?) new friends, trying to get in to the CrawsOver basketball game with LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and many more. They didn't make the cut, unfortunately, but he did make some amazing memories with the basketball buddies he went down with.
