Beware the Pillow Drop of Death!

Above, Haven noticed how hard the staff were working at Noodles & Co and wrote them this sweet note to leave with a tip. Below, Joni decided to make a 'rules' sheet for her bedroom door: "1) Put things back where they go. 2) If you want to go in my room, you need to ask."

Huge excitement about wearing lipstick

Kids put 18 kisses on a card for Brian to celebrate 18 years since Bethany & Brian started dating

Happy bday Brian!

It was a Star Wars-themed bday, including Star Wars hat, PJs, & ice cube trays, and Haven made a book for Brian full of pictures of her dressed up as Star Wars characters.

Sleepover party

It has been fun to see the kids' taste in music develop - for the dance party (with flashlight strobe lights of course), the kids selected Shake it off, Fight song, Shut up & dance, and Firework

Hollymead School's Robin Aldridge Memorial Fun Run

Joni, Ava & Lily ran 2 miles with Brian, and Haven & Bethany did the full course. Congrats to Joni for her longest ever run!

Haven with her great new teacher Ms. Hersman

Wonderful event and dedication ceremony to honor a Hollymead teacher who passed away last year.

On the go

Girls are both doing gymnastics & Joni has started soccer

Amazon delivers good & evil

Disney prince & princess dolls & Haven's Halloween Darth Vader costume both arrived - you decide which represents good & which evil...

Now that's a welcome

Girls were very excited that their old babysitter Rebecca was coming for a visit so decided the best welcome would be to torture her with her least favorite song...
