Romantic!!

Catching on with reading

Everett has always enjoyed a few books and songs at bedtime, but recently his love for books has grown to where he aka for specific books or even reads to himself. Yay!

Current favorites are...
Plump and Perky Turkey
Hiccupitomus
Iggy Peck Architect
Rosie Revere Engineer
Moose's Loose Tooth
I Can Read With My Eyes Shut








MEANWHILE... This one continues to be found in this position during all non-school hours. :)

Happy Birthday to ME :p

Birthdays come in all shapes and sizes. This one looked a lot like me sitting on the back row of a plane for most of the day. But when I came home, I saw smiling children, smelled homemade biscuits and gravy, and heard Louis Armstrong crooning. It was a wonderful little dinner and time of reflection, followed by Some incredibly thoughtful cards, voicemails, and gifts. 

I'm thankful to have this day, and I'm relieved to be at that point in my life where I Really look forward instead of backward. I specifically want to grow in love and patience this year.

Sushi Paradise

We have wonderful neighbors. This is not news. What IS new is my understanding of DeAnna's sushi making skills. 

Whoa. 


Haircuts

We sure do love Ms Lauren! She started cutting Caro's hair about 4 years ago when she had just finished school. Now she's got full books and we're lucky to have her cut Everett's hair too. :)





(Bonus because this haircut only required 1/2 box of Altoids. We're moving in the right direction!)

Pretzel Cutie

Yes. You absolutely are a CUTIE. 


Guess Who

Guess who's going to see Taylor Swift?!?!

One of the most precious and bittersweet moments was FaceTiming with Caroline at the Rotelli wedding to tell her I was staying with Andrea in Texas another week, but that she was going to see Taylor Swift with her friends. 

A heart full of gratitude to the moms who made it happen. Xoxo






The next week there was a special brand of silliness when she was getting ready to sing her heart out!














The San Francisco Treat.

Caro and I made the most of a 5000mile detour. Instead of San Diego o Indy, we flew from San Diego to San Fransisco to Washington DC to Indy.  BUT our frowns turned upside down when we were rescued by our dear Denka!!
