To Rainbow Room and beyond!

This is all Frank:) From soccer cleats to breakdancing sneakers! Because, shoes. Plus, we’re all about rainbows these days.

My favorite! Plus, we went out for mochi (rice flour) doughnuts prior - my new obsession.

A new school year for Meryl starts tomorrow! First homework task, bring in a family photo. Gang’s all here!

(Side note, this kid has eaten so much this weekend. Our fridge isn’t big enough for his teenage years and all his teenage friends!)

In the wild of the backyard, a rogue kitty!

Kids are asleep, it’s all about meeeee!

First breakdancing class in the books! With soccer now over, we’ve transitioned to what surprisingly turned out to be an even more tiring activity…running around a dance studio (sometimes dancing) for a full hour. Got some dim sum afterwards for lunch and hit the family nap scene hard. And since class is in the International District, we’re looking forward to eating our way through all our favorite spots for several Saturdays ahead!

Here’s the picture I got from Frank today in response to my lunchtime text to him, counting down the days till Holmes’ first birthday…when I can stop pumping to feed a tiny human.

Gah! Today was Meryl’s last day in the Raindrop room at preschool. She started the year as one of the youngest in her class, barely speaking and in diapers. And come next week, she’ll be starting in the Rainbow room as one of the oldest, full of voiced opinions and using the toilet! We have learned so much from Hilltop and Meryl’s teachers, Frank now sits on their Board, and we’ve developed new friends too!

It’s still shocks me every time I think about one of Meryl’s teachers saying that he’s excited for Meryl to transition into working on her ‘leadership skills’ next year as one of the seasoned kids in class. She’s three! We’re all lucky. Here’s to another year of learning!

We took the day off!

Riding out these warm days as long as we can!
