Can't forget about Micah!

...and this is what Micah was doing while Chloe and I were washing dishes!

Big Helper!

I was doing dishes today and Chloe brought over a chair and said she wanted to help. We had a pretty big pile of dishes to wash, and she was very thorough and did a great job! She washed and I rinsed, and it was so fun doing it together! Now, if she would just be willing to help like this everyday!!

hard at work

trying to get her to smile for the camera--we always end up with squinty eyes

So then I tell her to open her eyes bigger, and this is what I get..... love this girl!!!

Artwork

Someone gave me this idea to take a picture of Chloe with her artwork, and then throw the artwork away. Trying to overcome clutter and paperwork! Here are some of her creations from preschool this month.

What a mess!

I have a feeling there will be many more posts like these in the years to come....

(and, yes, there was a similar post last month)

Micah found the container of cheerios in the pantry, took off the lid, and dumped cheerios on the kitchen floor. So, of course, Andrew grabbed the camera!

As I am trying to clean them up, Micah thinks it is more fun to scatter them further!!

Women's Retreat

This weekend was CCC's women's retreat at Zephyr Point in Tahoe. It was a wonderful weekend connecting with old and new friends, laughing, learning, and not much sleeping!

Playing a very heated game of Catch Phrase

Beautiful afternoon by the lake!

This sign was part of Courtney's cardboard testimony. Love these women!

Motorhome

Today my parents sold their motorhome. Since my dad retired in 2002 (I think that is the right year?) motorhoming has been a fun way for my parents to travel and come visit us in Sacramento. We were laughing today, remembering that Chloe used to call the motorhome my parents "house," and the house in San Rafael their "other house!" Bye-bye motorhome!! You will be missed!

Yummy Cheerios!

Micah loves to feed himself Cheerios for breakfast. Sometimes he tries to use a spoon, but he usually shoves handfuls in his mouth!

Can't forget to drink the milk...

Good to the last drop...
