March Madness

By Sarah
Here's a few pictures from March -- I can't imagine how empty my life would be without my little ones, but boy, do they keep me busy!
Afternoon snack of chocolate pudding. I don't think I'll be doing that again soon.
Here Dan tried to get a good picture of Danny after going to urgent care. He fell down inside the van while avoiding getting in his car seat. We were afraid he would need stitches, but he was just under what was deemed necessary for them. Poor Danny had to live off of milk, Michelle's squeezable baby food (below), & ice cream. He loved it.
Grandma Karyl has been coming over a few afternoons a week so I can prepare dinner in peace. I am so glad to be a spoiled only child!
Can you see Michelle's bruise on her ear? That's when she tried to go out to the backyard by herself & Danny smashed her head with the sliding glass door. She had a mark on the other side of her head too.
Recently Danny has decided he is such a big boy he can play tug-of-war with Meigo (and say 'no' & hit & do other naughty things). He is still a huge sweetie b/c at least after he hurts you he gets a really sad look on his face & gives you a hug & a kiss & says, "sorry mommy." It makes a world of difference as he learns to grow & develop. We are so grateful to have him in our family.
Michelle has decided that she's a big girl too. What an adventure that is becoming for all of us. Here she is playing peek-a-boo. I am so grateful for her smiling face!

Luckily the weather is getting nicer & spring is on its way. Look at how gorgeous Kaelah is while she swings on the swing set in our back yard!
This was from a much needed morning with friends. I love seeing Kaelah smile & play with Serena at the park!
Dan's car has been kicked out of the garage & the bicycles & bike trailers have come up from the basement. Can you see how excited Danny & Michelle were to go for a bike ride? This was on a day I invited Grandpa to come with us. (:
Hooray for spring being right around the corner!

Hey, my car is the one that gets kicked out of the garage. No fair! Oh well, Carl's truck needs to stay in the garage so it starts better in the cold mornings at 5 am. And it's just a sure sign that spring is on the way!

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’...
