"Now I lay me down to sleep.."

"For the lord my soul to keep."

Keira's nightly prayer and animal/blanket arrangement. 

She says the first part in German, which I can't even begin to write out..

Life for the dog around this house is hard!

Frousin Love

Meghan took the boys for a little bit today to spend some time with their counterparts.
Kate was with a sitter, Liam was in school, so were my girls. Perfect day to spend some time with each other! And what better way to celebrate friendship and love!








Nolan and Lennon built a meditation spot:

Ignorebowl Party

Between the frousins, food, dress-up, choreography, backyard soccer, and video games, I think the kids have watched no more than a few minutes of the actual game.

They are having fun though!

100th Day of School

Today the kids are celebrating the 100th day of the school year. We had to make shirts for them, so I ironed on 100 pieces of sparkles on each shirt, in sets of five.

0-27

The combined score of the boy's three indoor soccer matches today.

We are happy that the outdoor leagues start next week!

Between Dance and Dance

We had a lot of engagements at dance today, with about 2.5 hours in between, which gave us just enough time to run to the Dallas Museum of Art to visit the special exhibit of Jackson Pollock's art and to have some time in the Center for Connections to make some art. We took Keira's friend Kaili with us, too.

There is not a mean bone in that child's body

She is passionate about everything she does and always gives 100 percent

She has a bad habit of saying "Sorry" for things that she shouldn't be sorry about (I'm actually complaining about my kid being too polite??)

At night she always says: "Good night, Mommy. You are the best Mommy in the world! Good night Daddy, you are the best Daddy in the world!"

One benefit of our lack of white stuff are sunny January afternoons in the backyard with the dog.
