Haley has been asking to cut her hair for well over six months… maybe a year. She thinks it would be easier to brush out, style, and it won’t get in the way at gymnastics (critical). Even in a ponytail, sometimes her hands land on the ponytail and that’s not good. So we talked aboutContinue reading “Haley’s Haircut”

Family Ski Day
I’ve been waiting ohsopatiently for my knee to be ready to get back to snow skiing, and the rest of the family has gone on Saturdays without me since Thanksgiving. January 20th was the day! We got a little later start than planned but the relaxed pace is worth it. We stuck together in theContinue reading “Family Ski Day”
Recognitions
JT and Haley had a big week last week! JT had his first basketball game of the season. We’ve been working on puzzles like maniacs this winter. This is our second one finished – and JT and Haley helped a lot. They can often be found hovering around the puzzle board before breakfast in theContinue reading “Recognitions”
We bought a camper!
Jim and I have been looking at truck campers for a loooong time. We have visions of four-season camping (not just summer) and we love the idea of doing more adventures with our kids. New campers are crazy expensive, so Jim scours Craigslist for used campers in good condition often. Every end of the summer,Continue reading “We bought a camper!”
Roomie Reunion 2018

We stay at http://www.bethelridgeretreat.com – reserving both cabins plus the main house for our 6 families withContinue reading “Roomie Reunion 2018”
Winter Flooring Project #4
I can’t believe we are done with winter flooring project #4. I also can’t believe that we did four flooring projects this fall/winter! We are done, for a long time. We (mostly Jim!) has now replaced the upstairs carpet and hall bathroom, downstairs mud room/office, and now play rooms. This project had us ripping outContinue reading “Winter Flooring Project #4”
Becky gets LASIK
I’m not shouting… it is an acronym: LASIK. Jim has been telling me I should get LASIK done ever since he did, twelve years ago. Finally, I decided to go get a consultation last September. I was tired of getting water under my contacts when splashing with the kids in the pool or lake, orContinue reading “Becky gets LASIK”
Happy New Year
We had lots of things going on for New Year’s this year. It started with all of the neighbor kids getting together to video record a play they had written. There were scripts and photocopies and everything. JT used our old Flip camera to take the footage. Apparently there will be a video showing afterContinue reading “Happy New Year”
An Evening with Cousins
We spontaneously had Preston, Madi, and Ali over for dinner and games one night while everyone was home (well, except Jim, but everyone else!). It is rare for this to happen between work and college and sports schedules. So dinner for six it was… And The Farming Game for hours, which ended up being superContinue reading “An Evening with Cousins”
A Trip to the American Girl Store
My neighbor Kristin, her daughter Jozie, her baby Stella, and Haley and I took a trip to the American Girl Store over winter break. We took off from our neighborhood early Thursday morning and caught the Kingston-Edmonds ferry. Then we drove a little ways to the store in Lynnwood. We shopped around a little bitContinue reading “A Trip to the American Girl Store”
