Our Preschooler

By Sarah
I can't believe it. And it took me months to decide whether or not to do it. But, alas, we have a preschooler. Only one day a week from 9am to 1pm & it has already been a huge confidence boost for her. At first I felt guilty even considering it. She is still a young 3 & I never would have thought of it but I could tell Kaelah needed a break from her younger siblings & vice versa. Lucky for us, one of my co-workers from the private school I used to work at began an in-home preschool with only 7 children 3 days a week. I could have never have done it if it wasn't a situation as perfect as this. Like I told one of my friends today, the tuition has already been worth it because now my little girl who has been potty trained since May will also poop in the potty. What also is wonderful is knowing Kaelah is having a good time. At the park she will pretend to be her teacher & at home she is much more independent with things such as taking her pajamas off to get her clothes on. Danny, Michelle & I are still trying to figure out what to do when Kaelah is away. Lunch is a whole lot smoother & the babies might get more attention, but Mommy doesn't get much more done with only 2 children than 3. And sometimes we just seem a little lost without our boss around. I'm excited to see what I can write about all this at the end of the school year.

We are so proud of you, Kaelah bear. We are so blessed to have you in our family.

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’...
