First Day of [Home]School. (Well, technically we’ve been doing some schoolwork for the last couple of weeks, but this was the first official day of their homeschool electives school.) Adrianna (8th Grade) Bree (3rd Grade)Cate (Kindergarten) Cate has been waiting for this day for MONTHS. She was ready to march off to school the day […]

Lost Another Tooth
Unbeknownst to everyone, Bree lost another tooth. We aren’t sure when; while she was sleeping last night, perhaps? Other than the one tooth that was accidentally knocked out when she was four, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her lose a tooth nor have we had a physical tooth to put under her pillow!
Swimming
We visited Broomfield Bay today. (Thanks Broomfield Library for the reading program passes!) Bree got brave enough to try the big slides for the first time on her own (thanks to the encouragement of her friend, Greta.) Cate rescued a ladybug from the water and found it a new home in the flower bed. And […]
Lift-a-Flap Pony
I recently found this pony that Bree drew. Upon further inspection, it is like a “Lift a Flap” book where you can lift up the flap to see inside! She still insists she doesn’t want to be a doctor though!
Tosca

Bike Camp
Last week, Bree attended a “Bike Camp” for kids with autism and other special needs to learn how to ride a bike. I was so impressed with their program! No training wheels!

Us in Seattle on the Space Needle: Then (May 2000 as newlyweds) and Now (July 2018, with our three daughters along)
Mustard
Bree did not want to eat her ham and cheese sandwich recently because *shudder* it had mustard on it. We eventually convinced her to try a bite, which she did quietly when it appeared we weren’t paying attention to her. It must have not been as bad as she’d feared, as she proceeded to surreptitiously […]
Spheres
Earlier this week, we got to visit the Amazon Go Store (it felt weird grabbing items and then just walking out!) and Greg also took us into the Amazon Spheres (https://www.seattlespheres.com/) in downtown Seattle. Such a cool place!
