Harvest Fair

Image
By Sarah
Once again the 3 of us journeyed to Shepherd Valley for a fantastic Harvest Fair.  They had pony rides, hay rides, a giant sand pile with buried treasure, a scarecrow with lots of pockets children could take a toy out of, all kinds of crafts for kids of various ages, booths, fresh squeezed lemonade & apple cider, homemade pie, and best of all the Michaelmas play. The weather was wonderful, and Kaelah like always loved spending the day outside.  Below is a picture I thought Dan edited nicely.  Props to my wonderful hubby & iPhoto.  (:

The Michaelmas play consisted of a smoke breathing dragon that the children (as farmers, knights, smiths, gnomes etc.) were able to tame through their faith, team work, sacrifice, and virtue.  I simply adore Waldorf education.

I love fall with the outdoor festivals and the pumpkins! I can't wait to start wearing sweaters and enjoying the brisk air.

What a cute picture of you and Kaelah. Kudos to Dan for a good editing.

Cute picture. Every little girl deserves a great mom like you, Sarah.
PS...I LOVE the picture of Kaelah with the little pumpkin hat from last year. Praise be, Gymboree! (I have that same hat, but it looks so much cuter on a lil' baby!)
OH and PS...guess who is getting married end of October?

Homecoming 2025

By Sarah
The tail end of summer has been so much fun.  The weather has been fantastic and we've all had special occasions to look forward to.  First up, a family party for Natalie's softball team that included pizza, whiffle ball, and seeing the girls just have a good time together as a team. Here's my favorite photo from when Michelle helped her friend, A, celebrate her 16th birthday.  Although she has been friends with A & Z since her time at the Waldorf school, Michelle ended up hanging out with a lot of strangers and had a wonderful time.  I love seeing her branch out and make new connections while maintaining her core friend group. Homecoming week included a BBQ, Powder Puff game and drone show, parade past the middle school where I was volunteering at the Rattler Run, plus a very exciting football game that even Hubby attended by being one of the basketball parents to man the concession stand. Danny did a great job tossing candy instead of throwing it and the basket...

45

By Sarah
I feel spoiled. My parents and our whole family around a dinner table was perfection. Hubby provided roses & a grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and fresh salad dinner complete with chocolate cake (decorated by Michelle).  My mom and dad bought me sweet and thoughtful gifts (including a mug Natalie had painted when my mom took her to Crackpots this summer) and even stayed to watch K Pop Demon Hunters in the basement. We thought it would be hilarious to watch them watch something so different from their favorite shows. They did not disappoint. It was a joyful evening that made me feel much better about turning 45 than I felt earlier in the day.  Below you’ll find what I had written before we celebrated.  Photo credit goes to Kate! 10 Years Ago I filled out interview questions for my 35th birthday and 5 years ago I did the same, adding 5 more questions.  I really don't think I should add 5 more every year because this is probably already too much information for an...

Adventures Begin

By Sarah
Michelle had been saving her money for years. She didn’t know exactly what for, but it turns out she used that money to travel with a group from her high school to Asia!  When people asked me at the end of the school year what I was excited for this summer, the first thing I would think of is Michelle’s trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam!  We loved getting texts and photos almost everyday and were able to FaceTime her a couple times.  She had quite the range of experiences from museums and treasures such as Angkor War to cooking classes and time on the water to learning how to fold flowers for offerings at famous Buddhas, and even hanging out with rats that sniff out landmines to be properly disposed of.  We are absolutely thrilled for her! While Michelle was in Asia, Hubby and Kate worked and Kate hung out with friends doing things like paddle boarding (it is great to hear her work stories!), Natalie and I watched the Women’s College World Series when we weren’...
