Holmes learned to cross his fingers (for luck!) and used all his wishful energy today to find birthday treats for Lummi:)

Looking fine at nine years old!

Bubble faces and theater performance practice…bravo!

For me! Holmes surprised me to a reading of Are You My Mother? and it made me happy:)

We snuck him in:)

Family, here we come!

Another night, another hallway sleepover.

Gymnastics bound, ready to bound!

We discovered “Bouldering Bingo” this weekend, which is a relief because we know nothing about bouldering and the bingo card gave us (ahem, Meryl and her friends) ideas for what to try!

AKA playing with water:)

Meryl joined her class t-ball team, the Ants! We’re loving the chance to finally meet and catch-up with parents as we emerge from pandemic remoteness:)

“Knuffle Bunny” has resurfaced and there’s a lot of “aggle flaggle!” to be said in our household.

Look at that lower lip! It’s so Grandpa!

Dressing princesses:)

Meryl’s first theatrical debut is next week in her class play! (Aside from her famed self-directed performances at home.) Us parents have homework…practicing lines with ‘Girl In The Green Dress’ for The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles.
