Xanna couldn’t wait:)

Happily, and begrudgingly:)

Holmes turns THREE this weekend!

In the house, on the way to school, there’s always time for horseback riding!

All this practice has unlocked yet another expert badge…or so we were told:)

Holmes got out alllll the books:)

I had a great weekend away with girlfriends:) Such a treat. And thanks to FaceTime, I wasn’t far away from jump rope practice. (Even Lummi tried to wedge herself into view, she never lets us forget she arrived on the scene before the others.) Thank you, Lola, for preserving everyone’s sanity!

Holmes’ creation! Hey, whatever helps you swim, kid. Mind over matter. Imagination and innovation.

Meryl is teaching us all how to make origami dogs, because she is an ‘expert’ at knowing how to make them. Hey, go with what you know! Confidence.

Last night we leveraged what might be the best use of holiday catalogs…creating a pathway across our hot, hot lava floor.

Tonight, we watched Floor Is Lava in prep for our next trek upstairs and this kid showed no fear of the heat.

Round two!
