Kindness Week at School

Q is a pretty kind kid so all these activities are right up his alley. Well, he didn’t want to give out free hugs but I totally get that.
















First peek at our newest addition





Keeping the Order

People don’t believe me when I tell them that Corduroy is a very organized dog. He will bark and bark at things that are out of order in our house. A throw pillow on the floor, a broom left laying down, an umbrella that has been blown over are not safe. Corsuroy’s most recent victims were Isla’s side tables. We brought them downstairs to sell them and he Could.not.handle.it. He has spent hours barking and pawing at these things. I’m ready to give them away for free just to bring the peace back. 




Tulle always... even to bed

Trying to make funny faces but he’s so serious!









Cousin pile!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... there is something so special about cousins. We had a blast having our first swim of the year with Syd, Chlo-Chlo and Colton Pie.




3000 miles won’t stop us

Q read me his Spanish books via Facebook while I was in Atlanta last week. I am so proud and so amazed at well he is reading. I never realized how cool it would be to watch his little brain learn. I couldn’t miss even one night of reading with him. 

This is a true action shot- he is mid-sounding out a word here. Go Q go!!




She thinks she’s so cool

She stole Q’s scooter and helmet for a quick afternoon ride.








Disney on Ice

Isla was so so so excited!! She loved it so much that she “ran out of power” before Moana and Maui came on. We woke her up and regretted it- she loved the show but screamed the entire way home. We would still totally do it agin. I absolutely love watching them experience the magic!!

Loves making people laugh









Things are getting real

Q got his first ever report card. He got C’s in all the behavior stuff and PK and I freaked out because we KNOW Q is very well behaved. It took us awhile (and some texts to other parents) we figured out that “C” was good- it stands for “consistently,” not average like we remember. When did C’s become good and how come no one told us?!?

Anyway- he’s doing great in all areas. He was recently moved up a reading level and seems to just learn more and more each week.

Keep it up little buddy- you can rule this world if you want!!

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!!




Rainy weather gear

Q is loving this weather and being able to use all his cool gear!

Living her best life

Isla wanted to be with me but I had to cook dinner and pack lunches. This was our solution.



She loved it so much that she asked if she could eat dinner there. How could I say no?

Ending the night with books
