Chip Off the Old Block

Breakfast and a book. Swap Nancy Drew for Star Wars and this was me 33 years ago.

Easter Moments

Mothers Day Moments

Well, we had a little mishap with a cancelled plane this year so no celebration yet but on Friday I got a wonderful treat: a bag full of gifts from Madeline including three necklaces and a fan, and a beautiful card from Patrick. This was some consolation for the moment on Thursday evening when Madeline informed me she was playing "kids" and proceeded to buckle her baby into her car seat and hand her a Happy Meal.

Madeline orders from a pretend drive-through. Looking for my "mother of the Year" award any day now.

Baseball Begins

After just one year of T-Ball Patrick is on
to coach- pitch. The Silver Hawks won their season opener and Pateick scored a few runs. 

Bike to School Day

It was a beautiful morning for a long-anticipated bike ride to school!

The Big Sleep(over)

Patrick hada sleepover last night. We checked all the boxes: a movie with popcorn, sundaes, post lights-out giggling, early wakeup to play 'revolutionary war' and a little sister who kept reminding us it was her first sleepover too.

Pretty Purple Toes

Madeline and I had a little ladies' outing to Sugar Scrub today. She was delighted by the entire 'beauty parlor' process.
