kindness
Olivia's preschool did a little kindness program at church this morning. The kids sang 2 kindness songs they learned at school (Olivia is the 3rd one on the back row. You can barely see her. 😂), then they went to the classroom for Sunday school. Olivia said they listened

dazzle dance
The girls always ask why there is a daddy daughter dance and not a mommy daughter dance. It turns out our gym does a family dance, and Braden happened to be out of town this weekend. So.... that made it a mommy daughter dance. The gym has a salon, so

exploring the cosmos
A couple weeks ago I signed up for a family class to learn about stars through a telescope. Emma has always been interested in telescopes and stars, so I thought she'd think it was really cool. We got to look at Venus and a bunch of different stars

more ice skating
The girls really wanted to take daddy and show him their ice skating skills.... It was way more crowded than on a weekday, but the girls managed to weave their way in and out of all the people. On our way out we stopped to watch the high school boys

just us girls
Braden had to be in Miami this weekend, so it is just us girls. We started off the morning with rainbow waffles. Today I gave them the option of going ice skating or going to a waterpark. They both picked waterpark. This is the face you make when you'

happy new year
We started 2020 off with a visit to the ER. While we were in Texas Olivia got hit in the toe with the hotel room door. I had a feeling it caught her nail and it would eventually fall off, but tonight she hit it for the 3rd time. This

back home
We spent our New Year's Eve morning flying home from Texas. On our way to the airport we stopped at a mega Buc-ees. Just like Blue Bell, it's one of the things you can't miss when you go to Texas. The candied pecans are
