November 2024 - Princess Audrey

November was a blur of work travel for Mom.  I had 15 flights in 12 days.  I laughed that Nathan wanted to FaceTime with me as Spiderman while I was gone.  Alexa and I went on a date to see the new Wicked movie.  Now she is listening to the album on repeat.  I remember doing the same thing with the Broadway music in high school. Here are some little moments of Kyle reading to the kids. Audrey brings him books all day and I love it. We had our beloved Aunt June over for dinner with Aaron Andrews.  It was so wonderful to see them both! Princess Audrey turned 2 and we celebrated with lemon blueberry cake, dress ups, and a new baby doll.  We ate mac and cheese for dinner and played flashlight hide and seek for her party.  Audrey pushing her baby around:  https://youtube.com/shorts/MrHGvmeDisU?feature=share The boys are official super heroes. Richard and Megan came to visit the weekend before Thanksgiving.  It was fun to see them and have tim...

October 2024 - Nacho Libre

We celebrated mine and Liam's birthdays by going to a local apple orchard with Craig, Remi, and Harlem.  It was fun to get the cousins together.  I was actually out of town for work on my birthday but my co-workers took great care of me which was nice.   Liam wanted to watch Wild Robot for his birthday party and it was so cute!  We all enjoyed the movie.   For Halloween we were Nacho Libre (Kyle), Encarnacion (Jenny), Queen of Hearts (Alexa) with other friends, Maverick (Tyler), Grim Reaper (Tad), Creeper (Liam), Mario (Nathan), and Princess Peach (Audrey).  Also pictured is our neighbor and Tyler's best friend, Tristen, who was an amazing Papa Smurf.  Audrey absolutely loved trick or treating and her tiny little legs sprinted between houses because she was so excited.   Misc Fun Videos: Alexa singing in YW:  https://youtu.be/FKA4hmnSiNo The little kids trick or treating:  https://youtube.com/shorts/Vx5lzH3DD0U?feature=sha...

September 2024 - New Front Yard

The kids are getting used to being back in school and we have the pictures to prove it.  Alexa wanted to crimp her hair and it transported me back to the 90's! Nathan gashed his head open on our door and had to get it glued shut.  He also scraped his nose pretty bad so it was a rough month for this 4-year old. Both Marmie and Grandpa Swingle AND Grandma and Grandpa Sweeny came to visit and we loved it!   We finally finished moving rocks, adding topsoil, compost, mulch, digging and installing sprinkers, and laying grass in our front yard.  Oh, and we planted trees and bushes that we hope survive the winter.  We were right on the edge of when it's "too late" to lay seed but it came in really well.  Thank you, global warming, for keeping it above freezing long enough for our grass to grow ;).  Both Grandpas did a lot of shoveling and raking while they were visiting so hopefully we didn't scare them away from future visits. Our old-lady chickens are s...
