Gaaahhh, their first days of preschool! And seeing Lummi too! 2018-2023, feelings! And, yes, we dressed them each in the same outfit for their first days…because we had the clothes, and the last of our influence over their personal brands:)

A view into our regularly scheduled programming of doing anything that’s not actually what we’re supposed to be doing.

With parent practice in the morning at drop-off:)

Back to the slopes! We’re making an effort to ‘practice’ skiing before the snow comes this year. I still think this place is so cool.

On to new skills and belt colors! Though, paying attention and focusing in class just might be the toughest challenge yet:)

Nope! Just birthday party mania at a friend’s house. Holmes also wore a Christmas sweater and holiday socks to the soirée too. Covering the spread.

No furniture is safe in our household.

Seven-year check-up! News worth hearing:)

Happy Birthday, Meryl! Backyard parties have resumed and we brought in a magician who filled us all with awe!

Seven!

Taylor Swift has taken over Meryl’s playlist and Holmes found the perfect book to give to Meryl, which is about Taylor Swift:) (Also, wrapping presents is for Christmas.)

Turns out that above all the gifts Meryl had on her wish list, her latest entry just days before her birthday (so much for planning ahead) was a set of reusable water balloons. They’re actually very cool. Magnets hold the silicone spheres together and they do indeed blast apart upon contact. Target practice in the backyard! Even Xanna got in on the action.

Cake milkshakes!
