High School Graduation

This summer has been a whirlwind. Since I last blogged, the girls graduated from high school, we went to Costa Rica, we went to Crescent Bar one last time (as renters this time) and moved them into WSU. For this post I am going to focus on the graduation. Seems so weird to be blogging about it now with everything that's happened since, but oh well.

The ceremony was on June 11th at the ShoWare Center in Kent. Paul's mom came over to our house and then we all rode together to The Cheesecake Factory for a very early dinner/very late lunch around 3:00. Then we got to the venue a little before 5:00 and they went in for all the pre-game stuff and we just waited around until the doors opened at 6:00. None of my family could make it (they all live an hour and a half away and my 91-year-old dad only drives locally) but my best friend since Kindergarten and her son made the trip down, so that was great.

Hard to believe their K-12 years are over! It seems like they just started not that long ago.

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
