Summer Vacation: Week 2

This week was the first week in a long time where we had absolutely no where to be at a certain time.  No school, swim lessons, classes or activities of any kind.  We did drive up to Mount Vernon on Wednesday and had to be up there by a certain time, but the trip itself was voluntary.  Also, both of the neighbor girls that the girls play with all the time were out of town all week, so we had no one over to play, no one showing up out of the blue or knocking on our door at random times during the day.  It was kind of nice.  The girls still got to play with a few other neighbors here and there but it was nice just being able to go about my day and not worry about if there's going to be a knock on the door any minute.

Monday - Still in Portland, went to the Oregon Zoo.

Tuesday - Catch up on laundry and housework, girls played.  Daddy took them to the park after work while I went grocery shopping.

Wednesday - Trip to MV to visit family.

Thursday - Played at home ALL day.  I had thought about going to Target but just decided to hit Fred Meyer after the gym instead, rather than make two trips to Issaquah the same day.

Friday - Played at home ALL day again.  Tried once again to go a few places but the girls didn't want to.

Saturday - Paul did lots of yard work and took the girls and a few neighbors to the park while I was out running errands.  Missed the better part of a beautiful afternoon running errands that normally would have be run during preschool.  I'm already kind of really looking forward to fall.

Sunday - Church, then birthday party at Kidz Bounce.  I took a short nap while the girls watched a little TV.  Had family movie night after dinner and watched 101 Dalmations (the old, animated version).

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}

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.

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
