Oahu

The turbo jet flight was a blast to Honolulu. Kaelah enjoying sitting

right behind her Aunt Amylynn & Uncle Scott. Amylynn was well

supplied with yummy suckers & Kaelah didn't even have enough time

to finish it before we landed. While in Oahu we visited the Polynesian

Cultural Center (where Dan got a kick out of my speaking Mandarin

with employees instead of paying attention to the presentations),

Waikiki Beach, the USS Arizona Memorial, the Aviation Museum of

the Pacific (which my grandmother was one of the founders of), and

took a tour of the USS Missouri. Dan & my favorite part of our short

stay in Honolulu was the USS MO & the fire dancing during the show

after our luau at the PCC. (Hi, my name is Sarah & I like very long

sentences & use parenthesis too often in my blogs.) Kaelah liked

everything except when she didn't get her way. (: Our trip home

went soooo much better than our trip out. Precious Kaelah was

spreading sunshine better than a knife spreads butter. She even

took a break from making people laugh to fall asleep on both our

flights and loved just being around her mom & dad. Of course she

totally freaked out when I left to go do Girl Scout stuff this morning

& then when Dan left to go to Boy Scouts tonight. I can tell she

would love it if Dan ever had a work from home situation but the

poor man would never be able to get anything done. (:

So there is the biggest vacation we'll take in years summed up.

Believe me, you don't want to see all 600 photos. (:

Wow...those vacation pictures to Hawaii looks so awesome! I'm glad that Kaelah did so well on the flight there and back! That always makes a difference.

Wow, that is awesome that you went to Hawaii. It is great for your sanity as well that Kaelah did so great on the flights. I am slightly, okay super jealous!

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’...
