At tonight’s Sunday dinner, Kendall entertained us all with her ribbon dancing! All that, even before the epic chocolate pie we had for dessert....

Read MoreCurriculum Night
Tonight was curriculum night at Goddard, where us parents got to learn all about what Kendall will be learning this year, and the kids got to play outside on the playground. Brian and Kendall were off and running as soon as they hit the playground! I loved finding the cute photos of Kendall from the day they made s’mores at school. She had told me about that, just bouncing with excitement–and you can see how excited she was in the moment! 🙂 Brandon had to go to the grocery...

Today was Brian’s first day of second grade! He was pretty excited about it. Poor kiddo had to lug in two huge Lego shopping bags filled with school supplies to donate to the class!

Grandma Sue came to our rescue and picked up Kendall for us, and met us back at our...

Marci presented the kids with a pair of gliders, which we played with on the front lawn. Kendall’s had beautiful pink designs, and Brian’s was Darth...

This summer at Lowes Build and Grow, there are six Avengers-related projects in a row. The patches are wedge-shaped and will come together to make a big circle, so Brandon has made super-sure to get Brian a spot in each session, so he doesn’t miss out (or end up with an incomplete set of patches–the horror!) 😉 Today he built a Thor and his Chariot, pretty cool! Brian doesn’t really know much about the Avengers yet, but we think he will get into them at some point, and...
