Bree and Cate still have some cute ways of pronouncing certain words that I just love. I know the days of hearing these are probably numbered though. Napkin – nap-can Cupholder – cup-folder Mozzarella Sticks – monster-ella sticks
Hair
Adrianna has been experimenting with different braids and hairstyles, and I get to be her test subject. (Much to my delight!)
Cate’s Drawing
I am just amazed at Cate’s drawing skills. She definitely learns a lot from observing Adrianna and Bree. Her drawings of ponies tend to look very similar to Bree’s and her girls tend to look a lot like the style (Manga) that Adrianna draws.
Youth Group
I am so thankful for the youth group that Adrianna is a part of. Great middle and high school friends, wonderful leadership, fun games. She enjoys going twice a month.
Aunt Kristi and Uncle Sean

Team-Building
Greg and some of his coworkers had a team-building activity that involved axe-throwing.
Art
Bree is taking two art classes at her homeschool electives school this year. Each class has a different teacher with a different focus: Mr. D tends to do project-based artwork and Ms. Hickman is doing painting this semester. One of Bree’s paintings was hanging up at Summit so I had to snap a picture of […]

Another recent conversation: Bree: How much longer until Trump isn’t president anymore?Me: Another year.Cate (with a disgusted tone of voice): Another year! But he’s been […]
