To be honest, it was maybe the most relaxing Easter ever! We started with a yummy breakfast: frittata, donuts, and berries. Then we enjoyed streaming our church service and worshipping together. The day was bright and cheery, and we got some nice outside time. I told the kids I wanted one photo, and of courseContinue reading “Easter at Home”

That’s a Wrap: Winter Break 2020
I told someone the other day that this was likely the best winter break I’ve had in a long time. I felt like it had a nice balance of time at home with nothing scheduled, outings and fun activities, family events, and friends. Sometimes we get to the end of break and wonder what justContinue reading “That’s a Wrap: Winter Break 2020”
Happy New Year 2020
We spent New Year’s Eve doing a few fun things we love… first, we took the kids to see Rise of Skywalker with the Drew family (well, three of the six children in the Drew family, and their parents). Then we headed home to get some things done, and ended up at the Drew houseContinue reading “Happy New Year 2020”
Fourth of July
Our annual neighbors BBQ at our house was a wonderful afternoon of relaxing with family and friends! We started off with a few kids and people… And by evening, we had a whole crew!
Father’s Day 2019
We have been getting out in the boat a little more lately, and Father’s Day weekend was no exception. On Saturday the kids came and we had a great time together, floating and skiing. I also let them take over my phone and take photos. On Sunday, we hosted a lunch at our house forContinue reading “Father’s Day 2019”
Easter 2019
This year, Haley had a speaking/singing part in our church children’s production, Three Little Trees. She practiced the songs for weeks at home and even had a weeknight rehearsal. She was awesome as Tree 1! She sang so clearly and nailed her lines! We came home and took a quick obligatory Easter photo before headingContinue reading “Easter 2019”
Christmas 2018
Christmas came so quickly this year! School wasn’t out until December 21, and then we went skiing on Saturday. Sunday we had plans with friends (boys shooting rifles, girls making candles) and a bonfire with family that evening. And then it was Christmas Eve! We had a lovely day at home together, and then ateContinue reading “Christmas 2018”
Scrooge the Musical
We’ve been looking forward to this evening with friends for a month or so! Scrooge the Musical is put on by a local church and is a very high-quality production, complete with flying angels and pyrotechnics! We invited our friends the Drews and the Lees to go with us. We all went out to dinnerContinue reading “Scrooge the Musical”
Halloween 2018
We hosted our annual pizza party before trick-or-treating for our neighborhood crew! (I was working in Seattle that week but, because my boss is awesome, she offered to meet up in West Seattle for the morning. So I ferried over, worked at Starbucks for a few hours, had a yummy Mediterranean lunch, and ferried homeContinue reading “Halloween 2018”
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”
