Going Up

Kaelah finds her swimming pool much more enjoyable now that there is no water involved. Well, at least I know I didn't waste money on her big birthday present after all.See how she sticks her tongue out when she is concentrating? Dan does too.
Climb climb climb. Kaelah love to climb. Kaelah loves to climb anything. Climb climb climb. I really wish I had gotten a picture of her reading one of her scrapbooks in the middle of our counter-top height dinning room table... with yogurt left over from breakfast all over her hands. I have a feeling our little girl will soon be climbing out of her crib!
Dan got out the ladder to put up our Christmas lights and that proved to be fun to climb on too. And yes, I let her climb a ladder at 16-months-old. The farthest she ever made it up was the first rung, so I wasn't too worried. At least I pretended not to be.
Here's proof 美狗 already knows which human will be most likely to throw the ball when we are doing something like yard work. Oh, and Kaelah is really close to learning the sit & stay command from watching 美狗 do it whenever the ball rolls into the street. Well, at least Kaelah finds it interesting if nothing else.
Action shot of one of the many reasons why my two girls get along so well. As I type I'm listening to Kaelah laugh herself silly while she plays with the dog & her daddy. We are so very lucky to have such wonderful girls in our home!

I think it's hilarious that Kaelah loves the pool without the water! I guess it's a good thing or it'll be an ice-skating rink. :-)

By the way, will you and Danny be in Utah at all for the holidays?

I'm threatening to turn it into a sand box if she still doesn't like it with water next spring. (:

Homecoming 2025

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

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

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’...
