Yesterday, Humbao and I were the best, most supportive cheering squad. Holmes got close to riding independently, oh so close.

I had the hunch that he was on the cusp of catching the wave, so we headed up to the playground after dinner last night for another practice round and…he did it, he did it! BIG SMILES all around:) He was so proud of himself, as he should be!

Frisbee practice! As she is now a third grader, Meryl has the opportunity to join the school Ultimate Frisbee team this fall. So, this summer, we’re getting some reps in.

Go Storm! We love going to Storm basketball games!

It is possible to root for the Storm and Caitlin Clark…twice! What fun to see her play a few weeks apart and catch her play into her stride with the Indiana Fever. And cheer on both Storm wins!

We get to bike to Storm games as Climate Pledge Arena is close to our house! Zipping in and out through traffic is so satisfying.

And now we’re hitting our own fandom stride:) This time, seeing the Storm win against the Atlanta Dream.

Meryl has fallen for Storm player, Jewell Loyd. And lucky us, we get to cheer for her in the Paris Olympics this summer too!

Cooling off on a hot day after the game at the International Fountain a mere steps from the stadium!

Can’t stop, won’t stop!

And these two embody all that is fine and refined, and ready for the Spring Arts Showcase! This was back in June toward the end of the school year, when we had a second grader and a pre-K student. Meryl needed to wear open toed shoes because we had all gone out for manicures and pedicures the day prior:)
