What a lovely tradition we’ve made with some of our favorite people! Every year we host a progressive dinner style Friendsgiving with our friends from the Drew family and the Lee family. This year, we had an Italian theme! We barely fit in the photo this year… and there’s one more kid to come! We’veContinue reading “Friendsgiving 2019”

New Commuter Car
…It’s also known as “Haley’s first car” in our family! Jim has to return his take home car from work this week, so he’s been looking for a commuter car option and trying to decide what is the best purchase long term, given our other plans to replace my car and our children needing somethingContinue reading “New Commuter Car”
PJ Classic 2019
Haley did an amazing job at her second gymnastics meet, the PJ Classic in Auburn. She improved a ton from her first meet and most importantly had a wonderful time! Her team wore matching pajama pants… so cute! We had a full audience for this meet, which was super fun. She got 4th in herContinue reading “PJ Classic 2019”
Veteran’s Day Assembly
JT and his fifth grade school mates performed at the Veteran’s Day Assembly, and this was the first assembly in his life that he has been moderately okay with being up front. (Read: didn’t complain for weeks and instead appropriately internalized all anxiety. Ha!) Grandpa Cole came to watch and he was recognized as aContinue reading “Veteran’s Day Assembly”
Halloween 2019
Once again, we hosted a pizza party at our house for our neighbors. It was a fun event with about 25 people all chatting and laughing, and kids getting hyped up for trick-or-treating. Then we went outside and took a group photo, of course, and one of just our kids. And finally we hit theContinue reading “Halloween 2019”

I think I just set a new personal record for the quickest work trip! I left home at 8:15 AM after I put the kids on the bus, got the airport and parked by 9:30, bought a lunch for later, was on the plane by 9:50, and landed in Las Vegas at 12:50 PM. IContinue reading “Quickest Work Trip Ever”
Saturday in Seattle
We headed to north Seattle for Walter’s birthday party this past weekend. He makes an awfully cute four year old! Then we headed over to the Pacific Science Center to see Apollo 11 on IMAX. It was amazing! On the way, we saw some fun sights…
Buddy Walk 2019
While Becky was flying home from New Zealand, the rest of the Keene family attended the 2019 Buddy Walk at Woodland Park Zoo! Aren’t they adorable? Then they picked me up from the airport, which was wonderful. ❤
New Zealand* again
I was invited back to New Zealand for a second trip to speak at the 2019 Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert Hui. It’s all the MIEExperts from New Zealand who can make it, plus some Aussies too. It is a great group and such an honor to be invited – back! I flew down on OctoberContinue reading “New Zealand* again”
Out and About
I had a pretty full last week of September in the Puget Sound area. First, my mom and sister in law and I went to see the Downton Abbey movie! We loved it. It was a great continuation of the tv shows. Then I visited two schools in the area to interview people for myContinue reading “Out and About”
