While in CA, some heroes came to the rescue for a couple of people who were moving. Thank you thank you!
There they are:
My friend Dan shared this picture with us siblings, that he found while he was cleaning out his things to move to Switzerland. Thank you a million for sharing... this is amazing.
The kids are such good sports about going outside and sitting with and playing with Solo, the biter/chewer. I'm so proud of their persistence and body sacrifice.
Girls Time!!
Monday, we dyed Halle's hair blonde again.
And Halle started her cooking class this week! She goes every day for 3 hours and learns gourmet cooking with our friend, who is an award winning chef. =) This really is one of Halle's new passions. She made Frenchiladas; enchiladas made with a French woman, and also desserts, pasta from scratch, summer vegetables, breakfasts, and sauces. So yummy.
This is also the second and final week of swimming lessons for Connor. What a champ to do 2 weeks in a row. I just really want to make sure he's completely independent in the water.
The boys are having a hard time saying goodbye to Texas!!
But finally, on Tuesday, they come home. Yay!!!!
And Carlie & I run over to the theater to see Aladdin. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!
And meanwhile, some people are partying hard in CA!!
Thursday, the boys got to be extras in a JK! Studio sketch about Stranger Things. They hung around for a LONG TIME, and they are in the background, nice & blurry; you do see Derek walk by in the hall at one point for a sec. One episode out so far... we'll see if you can see them in the next one, too.
Derek with Jason, who fully ACCIDENTALLY hit his head on set.
Meanwhile, Connor & his friends decorated Nathan's mommy's door for her birthday. I'm so glad Walker's mom helped them do this!!! How sweet.
Tribute that means something to Nerd families like us. =)
Toward the end of the week, Halle had her dessert and "plating" days:
Carlie finished her Father's Day gift for Jeff. It's so great!!!
Halle & Kierste decided they wanted to host a Summer Party for their friends. They cleaned the house all shiny, put out snacks, turned on music, and played games, including making up and performing skits on teams.
More cuddles with the dog happening every day.
Then Miranda comes home to us... thank you for taking such good care of her!!
On Sunday, we finally got to celebrate Father's Day with Jeff. The kids all got him presents, and he got a new Apple Watch from his wife. =)
MEMES!!!
And my friend posted these this week:
Love, us
