Snow!!!

My wonderful family walking
We finally got a good dumping of snow here last Thursday! Our grass needed this wonderful white stuff very badly. Kaelah had already outgrown her 24 mo. snowsuit, so we unburied the 3T items we purchased on clearance for next winter. Obviously still too big, but she was able to stay nice & warm that way.
Kaelah's first time sledding. Yes, she had been tubing at Christmastime, but for sure the first sledding.
While we were sledding a city snow plow came by & knocked over much of the fence between the sub-development & the road behind us. The shear force of wet snow traveling quickly -- what a mess.Yesterday Dan & Kaelah made Kaelah's first ever snow man in the front yard. And Grandma Karyl picked out the wonderful accessories for our nameless man. Kaelah preferred the snowballs to making the snowman. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise considering how much she loves balls! Each time she touched the snow she would gasp and say, "cold!" So cute. The weather was absolutely perfect for playing in the snow. We're so grateful for the precipitation! I was about ready to give up on our grass for good.

LOVE the snowman, and everyone knows I am such a sucker for a pink snowsuit. I can't believe that fence got knocked over, how rude!
Looks like the winter wonderland is still abiding in CO.

Snow is great and I've always wondered why little kids love snow so much. And happy birthday to Meigou! I didn't know you could give a dog cake!

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’...
