Family BBQ

Last weekend my family had a BBQ at my brother and sister-in-law's house.  It was so fun for us because most of my family lives an hour and a half away and we don't see each other that often.  My niece (daughter of said brother and sister-in-law) has two little ones also, a daughter that's 11 months older than the girls and a 4-month old boy, so it's fun to get them all together.  In the past the 3 girls haven't really interacted very much but now that they're a little older they did much more so this time so that was fun to watch.  We were blessed with a nice day, so the girls got to play in the wading pool.





They had a total blast, especially after their uncles threw the slide into the mix.

NOW we're talkin'...

Tomorrow we have a playdate with a friend and her 4-year-old at Gene Coulon Park in Renton.  It should be a beautiful day for fish and chips by the lake.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.
