Jumper & Watermelon

On our Zoom call yesterday, Little Flower was very excited to show us first her new jumper for London that she was wearing. Very cute! Then she showed us her painting of a watermelon slice. Wow, it was quite good! Can't wait to see her and her family.  

Jake the Dog

Today Major Cuteness and I finished making a stuffed felt Jake the Dog from his current favorite cartoon. He kept underestimating the time it would take but at the same time was very understanding and patient. It is so nice to spend this kind of time together. Who knows how long he'll want to do things like this? I treasure our time together.

Good Decisions

I'm so proud of Miss Squirmalicious. She has been walking to and from the bus stop (1/4 mile each way). She told her dad that she wants to get her steps in every day, and maybe even get a Smartwatch! She also chooses to have an apple as her snack when she comes home. Many days when it's too hot she is on the treadmill. Love that she is making good decisions. 

First Day of School

Miss Squirmalicious starts 6th grade in Middle School today (hard to believe) and Major Cuteness starts 4th grade! They both look so grown up in their 1st day of school pictures, especially Major Cuteness with his hands in his pockets. All of a sudden, he looks like a tween! Sad that school is starting in the middle of August.

Crazy Zoom

Yesterday's Zoom call with our Kenyan family was a little crazy. First of all, our internet was extremely slow and then went out altogether. Secondly, Baby Z had her Kenyan 1st Birthday party and both her and her sister Little Flower were on sugar highs! :) Both of them were jumping around and couldn't sit still. Also, they only wanted to take their moms phone and carry it around. It was still so good to see their faces. I was joined by Miss Squirmalicious and Major Cuteness who kept saying, they're so cute, I love their little faces!
