Christmas Celebration #1

Image
By Sarah
One of the benefits of having your grandparents live in two states is that Christmas lasts longer! And in Kaelah's case, they are completely different, both in great ways. With my side of the family things are quite quiet & everything revolves around Kaelah. On Dan's side, we get to be around lots of great family members we haven't seen for months and enjoy being part of a great big family. The more the merrier! But for now, we'll share the quieter side of Christmas. Above: Kaelah's favorite Christmas picture. She gets excited every time she sees it pop up on the computer. I think we've been reading Carl's Masquerade too much lately. (:
Kaelah enjoyed ALL the presents ANYONE received, including this table cloth.
Meigou had this squeaky toy so torn up by the end of our celebration it went out in the trash with the wrapping paper.
Wearing the "What Santa doesn't bring me Grandma will" pajamas her own way.
Kaelah was bouncing around the room whenever she wasn't playing with the presents.
Big smiles while being tossed back & forth between Daddy & Grandpa through the air!
Swaying her dolly. She calls it, "baby" but it comes out sounding like "Barbie."
Showing off her awesome truck to the person who gave it to her.
The women in our family figuring out the cool magnetic truck from IKEA.
I love this picture. Meigou seems to have developed a "me too!" complex since Kaelah's arrival. (: Kaelah also giggles when this picture pops up too.
Kaelah feeding her dolly (in the nose, in the eye... eventually in the mouth).

More to come soon!

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’...
