Here & there

Dan & Kaelah got to take a weekend trip to visit Dan's family for one of our nephew's getting baptized and his little brother being blessed on the same day.  Some of my friends freaked out since Natalie was only 3 weeks old, but it was my idea, don't worry.  This was Dan's first time on a trip alone with Kaelah and they had a great time, just like when she & I visited her best friend in Cali last fall.  Dan has a great family and they got to do all sorts of things like attend our brother-in-law's work fair/carnival, watch cousins dance in their year-end recital, and meet the newest arrival to the family (other than Natalie -- he's 3 weeks older).  Kaelah looooves babies and cousins and aunts and uncles and can't wait to go visit family again.

 Meanwhile, back at home, I made the mistake of trying to take the children to the park by myself.  Danny got tired of waiting for me pushing the stroller and rode all the way to the playground.  Great thing he was wearing red pants so I could pick him out at a distance, and that our neighbors happened to be there.  Turned out the baby hated being in a cool breeze too.  Ever since, I have only met friends at the park on warmer days and it has turned out much better.  (:

 We got to go to a bouncy house in Loveland for Katherine's birthday party & had a great time... we were there for over 3 hours.  Could never get a picture of D that wasn't blurry b/c he just kept on moving.  Love that kid!
The house made progress too.  We checked on it for Daddy on the way home from the party.

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’...
