Our neighborhood had a get-together, making s’mores in a nearby cul-de-sac. I am glad we went, as it is nice to get to know our neighbors a bit better. I was happy to exchange numbers with another family that has three daughters, too, two of which are the very same ages as Bree and Cate. […]

All-day Volunteer
Yesterday, I volunteered at the girls’ homeschool electives school as an all-day volunteer. I was a teacher’s assistant for 5 class periods and a bathroom/annex monitor at lunch. First period, I was happy to be a helper for Bree’s Maker Space class. She was making a desktop organizer, and I thought she did a great […]
Bree Playing the Guitar
If you leave instruments out and available, they will get played. 🙂 I found Bree picking out her “Bird Ponies” song on Greg’s guitar and couldn’t resist recording the cuteness.

“Computers”
Bree and Cate made their own “computers” out of paper. They are quite impressive and they’ve put a lot of hard work into them. I love the 3D look of the buttons that they drew! They each have fold-out extras that “unlock” with “keys” that they made as well.
Birds at the Zoo
Bree and Cate are very interested in birds right now, so when I found out that Bird World was closing at the Denver Zoo on October 1, I knew we needed to make a visit there a priority before that happened. Some of the birds had already been relocated (the girls were sad that hummingbirds […]
Therapeutic Riding
Enjoying a beautiful fall day at therapeutic riding. Bree rode Ginger and Cate rode Tosca. Afterward, the girls fed the pony and goats.
Climate Change Class
Adrianna had a class on climate change at NCAR this morning, so Katie and I took our little girls hiking on the trails nearby while we waited for their older sisters to finish.
