First Day of 4th Grade

By some miracle I have a few extra minutes this morning to whip out a quick post. Yesterday was the first day of school. It went really well. We made lunches the night before and the girls picked out their outfits and laid them out. Olivia wanted her hair French braided and I don't really know how (I think I could remember if I had plenty of time) so I asked one of their friend's mom who is 3 doors down from us and she was happy to do it and they got up early enough to have plenty of time and all that.

I dropped them off about as early as I could (8:45) because I had a 9:30 meeting to get to, and that went super easy and I made it to work with about 10 minutes to spare.

Kayley has been straightening her hair a lot lately and I love it (but I love her curls, too)

Olivia had a mint in her mouth, thus the weird expression

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
