The little girls have been going weekly to gymnastics again. They really enjoy it and are happy that they can be in the same class.

Robot Vacuum
Now that we have hardwood floors, I was worried about how to keep them clean since they tend to show dust, lint, and other particles a lot more than carpeting does. So I bought myself a robot vacuum. It isn’t a Roomba, but it is similar. And I LOVE it so much. It does a […]
Therapeutic Riding
The girls still enjoy their weekly riding sessions. Last week, they were working on balance. Bree was on Fabio and Cate was on Tosca. This week, the girls had to put rings on cones and follow multi-step directions. Bree was on Cocoa and Cate was on Sammy. I love Sammy’s “earrings.” Adrianna came along again […]
Avatar
Now that the little girls are a bit older, we are rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender series as a family. It has been enjoyable to have family movie nights so often and the girls are really into the show. They get excited, laugh a lot, and all three girls groan when there’s even the possibility […]
Birthday Party
Bree hadn’t had a big birthday party for several years and I don’t think Cate had ever had one (not counting celebrations with family), so I decided it was time. With the busyness of the holidays, having to plan birthday parties on top of it has always felt daunting, so I decided to have a […]
Cate’s First Lost Tooth
Yesterday, Greg and I had a quick evening date to go see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and wouldn’t you know it but not 10 minutes after we left, Cate lost her very first tooth. Eating an apple. And then Bree lost a tooth not long after on the same evening while we were […]
Christmas #2
For our second Christmas this year, we were in Kansas with Greg’s family. On the 25th, we had a little birthday celebration for Bree and Cate, complete with a fancy rainbow cake made by Grammy (and decorated by Adrianna.) It was very impressive and the girls were thrilled and surprised by the rainbow inside! We […]

Greg: Thick, warm socks (stocking) and a King-sized weighted blanketAmber: Two books (Once and Future King, Irish Folk Tales), Harry Potter Trivia, socks (stocking), Reese’s, bookmark and “Reese’s bird” made by BreeAdrianna: […]
Scavenger Hunt on Horseback
It was a mild December day, so the girls’ instructor at horseback riding, Liz, put together a fun scavenger hunt for them outside. They had to follow instructions to the next clues and at the end, they each got a light-up necklace for Christmas.
Cat Ponies
It makes me smile when I think about how the girls have created alternative creatures based off of My Little Pony. First, there were bee ponies, then bird ponies (“Fly, fly, fly, fly, I am a bird pony!”) And most recently “Cat ponies” have made an appearance. 🙂 They totally look like Fluttershy and Rainbow […]
