July 2018 Check-in

Greetings from the Stuves

Hi Chayenne!

The Summer is already flying by for the Stuves and we've had a very busy last few months.

At the beginning of June, we bought a house across town (still Las Cruces) and into another great school district. We had a really cool opportunity unfold for us and the house we chose was previously enjoyed by two other families over the years, each with 3 kiddos, so lot's of attention went into creating unique spaces for a growing family.

Penny, Elliot, and Luca have each started organizing their new rooms and we hope to have some updated photos of that posted soon. I will say that Penny's brothers have taken an interest in helping her build lots of "forts" around the house, which creates hours of fun with their amazing imaginations.

Brave Girl Penny decided that she wanted to have her ears pierced recently; she barely cried at all and absolutely LOVES her feminine accessories.

Penny loves to help mom with photo shoots for her Clothing Boutique advertisements, and I have to say that she seems to be really photogenic.

Soccer season won't start for a couple more months for Penny's team (The Gila Monsters), but her brothers are both active in Soccer year-round, which leads to some fun backyard practice sessions. 

There is only about another month before school starts so we are trying to take advantage of every Summer Time opportunity to relax before the normal grind sets back in.

We hope that life is going well for you too Chayenne!

Love,

The Stuves,

Penny, Luca, Elliot, Tessa, Todd, Danarus (cat), Scout (cat)

Happy New Year From The Stuve Family!

Happy New Year Chayenne! We hope you are having a great start to 2018. Pennyis one of the sweetest, most loving 4-year olds thatwe have ever known. At the same time, she is the only girl in her Preschool class and totally knows how to keep the other little boys in check. It's funny to watch how hard-wired her personality is, even from such a young age. Before she even knew what shoes, purses, or fashion were, she was drawn to them and will spend hours playing with her brothers using her vivid imagination.

The Stuve family is pretty big into costumes, Cosplay, Halloween, you get the picture!

This year for Halloween, our kids displayed "Wreck it Ralph", at least our 3 kids on the right. This was like day 5 of costume wear, plus some other face painting from the Farmer's Market, and their friends were all having a good time too.
