I'm taking more and more pictures of everyday life on my iPhone…and they must be recorded in our family photo album! This has created a new technology challenge for me--but one that I'm having fun with. :) Here are a few randoms from my phone...
I ordered the kids' costumes online this year, thinking that at 8-months pregnant, shopping around at stores was not going to be happening! Josh knew that his costume was coming, so for two days in a row, we stalked the mailbox. I've never checked the mail 4 times each day, but Josh thought that was completely normal. This is the triumphant moment that took place after the package FINALLY arrived...
One Friday while Gracie was in Kindergarten, Josh and I had a coffee date at Whitworth with our Linnea--having a kid on campus is almost as attention-getting as a puppy. Not a lot of deep conversation, but plenty of messy muffin all over the floor, coloring at the table, and "oohs" and "ahhhs" from friends as they walked by. :) This is a pic of Joshy recording Linnea recording our date for Instagram...
School pictures came back! I had to take pics to send to Daddy at work…pretty darling!
And I couldn't get enough of this view earlier this month. Did I like it best with the sun streaming through the trees or the fog enveloping them? Love our backyard colors!
We were so proud of Gracie! She volunteered at school with her friend, Ivy, to stand up and recite the phonics challenge…"A, apple, /a/...B, bat, /b/...C, cat, /c/..." and she was rewarded by getting to go down to the principal's office to get a pencil! We had heard of this challenge and weren't sure if our quiet girl would ever volunteer for such a challenge…but she did it! Good work, Gracie!
And one morning Daddy felt inspired to make Mickey Mouse pancakes with the kids…love these grins.
