Cate loves fruit and eats it like candy. All day, every day. Today, she was struggling with a grapefruit. Cate: Mom, can you help me scoop this out?Me: I can try, but I’m not very good at cutting grapefruit.Cate: GRAPEfruit!? I thought it was called ‘GREATfruit!’
We originally had not planned on trick-or-treating this year, making plans for some fun activities as a family at home. (The “Great Pumpkin†visiting and hiding candy being one of them. In part, to make up for the Easter Bunny’s failure to show up in April due to pandemic mental fatigue.) But when I saw […]
Cater-tot lost her first top-front tooth. It’s been dangling for a bit and last night it was barely hanging on. In fact, it fell out only moments after snapping this picture. She asked for a dollar coin. The tooth fairy has really slipped in her tooth-gathering duties, so I made a point to make sure […]
Bree and Cate decided they wanted me to cut their hair short (at Adrianna’s encouragement.) They both gave me input as to the lengths they wanted. And here is Adrianna’s cut from September 23rd.

We made our annual visit to a local pumpkin patch. Adrianna was feeling a little sad about not being with friends this time, as the past couple of years we’ve visited with some of her friends. We chose a smaller pumpkin patch and went on a weekday in the hopes that it wouldn’t be too […]
With the autumn leaves changing colors in the mountains and the number of nice, warm days coming soon to a close, I decided the girls and I should take a “sun” day off of school to take advantage of a nice weekday. We drove up to Guanella Pass, starting at Georgetown and stopping at Clear […]
The girls had their first excursion to a store in SIX months! Adrianna went with Greg to get paint for her room, and then all three went to Target with me so that we could get our flu shots. Not even a bribe could entice Cate to sit still on her own for the shot. […]
Today Cate and I returned to the dentist so that she could get the remaining two fillings done in two of her molars. But unfortunately, her last experience at the dentist left her too nervous. The jaw pain from the thing that held her mouth open, the throwing up, and the taste of the numbing […]
