We invited some friends over for dinner tonight. We had a good time hanging out and they introduced us to Congolese Seben music. It was a lot of fun to watch everyone take turns on the drums and guitars. The littler girls played with play-doh while the older kids (and adults) jammed in the music […]

Manicures
Grandma Debbie had the fun idea to getting the girls manicures before their big performances at regionals this week. Though the little girls had gotten their first pedicures last summer (and Adrianna’s been going with me for a few years for pedicures), this was the first manicure for each of them so they were pretty […]
Guster
Tonight Greg and I had a date night at the Boulder Theater to see a Guster concert! Such a great show. We’d seen them a few years ago at Red Rocks (which is always awesome), but this venue had such a different feel for their performance. It was smaller, more intimate, and I think the […]
February 2020 (1 Second Everyday)
About midway through the month of February, I downloaded the app 1 Second Everyday. A friend from college had been posting monthly snippets from his life and they were fun to watch, so I decided to give it a try. I can’t stop from watching our clips over and over again. It is so much […]
Night of the Stars
Adrianna decided to participate in the local talent show again this year, Night of the Stars. Bree and Cate decided to give it a try, too! All three girls played the piano. Adrianna played “Other Friends” from the movie Steven Universe. Bree played “Brumm’s Accordian” from the video game HollowKnight, and Cate played “Drift Away” from […]
Custom Joy-Con
Adrianna created a custom decal for her Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. It turned out pretty cool! She used our regular printer to print the pattern on printable vinyl and then cut it out using our Silhouette Cameo.
Casper
My niece, Layla, was in a bouldering competition in Casper today. Since that is *slightly* closer than her hometown and we knew we could fit in a visit with the Long family there too, the girls and I decided to drive up and cheer her on. She got first in her division! After the competition, […]
Just for Fun
Because I reading everyone else’s answers on social media, here’s ours: How did you meet: We met at Grace University in 1997 when we were on a music team together. First date: He took me on a picnic near Old Main. He had the whole thing planned out and it was so sweet. On our […]
Another Lost Tooth
Cate lost her second tooth today…at her homeschool options school. And instead of telling her teacher, she simply put it in her pocket and continued on with her day. Thankfully she remembered to tell me about it when she got home!
Cosmic Crisp
Just a note that the Cosmic Crisp apples are worth every bit of the hype. So crispy, tart, and sweet – they are even better than Honeycrisp, which I love. And they are so pretty! I was so excited to find them (finally!) at our local grocery store after hearing about their development for a […]
