Mother's Day 2021

We had a nice Mother's Day.  I woke up early, around 6:00, and couldn't get back to sleep, so that was a bummer, but then we had a yummy breakfast of butter braids (my great-niece and nephew sell them every year for a fundraiser for their school) and bacon, then we went to Paul's parents' house.  We had a salmon dinner, then Paul and I took Kona for a walk on the neighborhood trail, then we did gifts, had a yummy white Costco cake with vanilla mouse filling, and then got home at a reasonable 6:30 (we hate getting home late on a Sunday when we have to work the next day).

Kayley even let me take a picture with her.

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}

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...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
