Music Camp 2016
Music Camp 2016 with an Olympics Theme this year. For the last day’s program, Bree’s class sang and played the xylophone and Adrianna’s class played the handbells.Bree was really nervous about the program today but she did great! We were so proud of both girls.
Recordings
I think I just need to make a recording of myself saying, “Adrianna, stop causing problems with your sisters…Bree, stop screaming / whining…Cate, do you need to go potty?…Cate, come HERE…Cate, you need to listen to Mommy…” and then just put it on repeat. It would save me a lot of time and a lot […]
Seattle Trip
Greg needed to spend a couple of weeks in Seattle for a work trip. Since it was such a long duration, the rest of us decided to tag along. Since we drove and saved his company on airfare, they were willing to get us a bigger hotel (though it was farther from downtown so Greg […]
Independence Day
Happy Independence Day, everyone! Today I am thankful for this great country that we live in, for sweet and patient friends who helped encourage our Breezy girl to be brave and come to the fireworks show (with headphones), and for delicious “Midwest 4th of July” themed food.
Bubble Lamp
Adrianna’s latest science project – a Bubble Lamp from her Tinker Crate subscription.

(Cate has been crashing almost every evening! She thinks she is a “big girl” and doesn’t need a nap these days, […]
Cog Railway up Pike’s Peak
After we checked out of the Broadmoor, we took the Cog Railway up to the top of Pike’s Peak. At the top of Pikes Peak: 14,110 feet! The girls were cold as we’d forgotten to pack our hoodies.
Parent Trap
So Adrianna and I watched the new(er) Parent Trap tonight. (The one with Lindsay Lohan.) And I realized something – the almost-stepmother in it has a step-mother whose name is Vicky, which I thought I recognized from the original Parent Trap with Hayley Mills. So, of course I had to look it up, and sure […]
Broadmoor
Greg’s company, Wayin, gave all the employees $500 cash and told them to go do something fun with their families. So we decided to stay a night at the fancy Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. Something we wouldn’t splurge on normally. It was fun to stay there, but we sure felt out of our element. […]
