Our Big Girl

By Sarah

I have wanted to cry this week. I just can't get over how much and how fast Kaelah is growing lately. She is getting along on her scooter Chris gave us really well & has even tried out the tricycle we bought at a garage sale a coulple times. Our daily walks are longer & longer and Kaelah has begun chasing the cute dogs around the dog park. (She really likes Beagles.) When she wants picked up she feels so heavy and I wonder if people think I'm hauling around a 3-year-old she's so tall. Her play is becoming much more creative and almost every day she strings another phrase together. This afternoon she talked to herslef in her crib during her entire nap time. *Oh please, don't grow out of your naps yet!* Tonight she helped me peel the Clementines after playing with the dog in the back yard all by herself. Of course I had a glass door & both kitchen windows open & I constantly interrupted my cooking or Danny's baking to look out the window. Although he was kind enough to not say anything, you could tell he thought I was nuts. Well, overprotective at least. (:

It is amazing how they grow. I was just telling Adam last night how Naomi was turning in to a little person. How she was not quite the baby any more! Also I loved your post about your dog! Happy Birthday!

I miss naptime. Abigail quit before Bryant was born, and they are two years and four days apart. Just remember, worse things could happen than no nap time. I know many people that have insitgated a "quiet time" instead. That way mom can still get stuff done.

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’...
