4.28.2020

 The days and weeks are all flowing together.  What day is it anyway??  The girls are doing great adapting to e-day.  Some days are better than others but they pull through each one.  They know better than to have me help...they understand math better than I do!  


 Juliette listens to announcements in her living room fort.  She points to herself in a picture that was taken of the kiddos at PVE last year.  We are sad that she is finishing up her last days of elementary school at home but thankful for the time she had there.  She said she wants to go back there instead of middle school!
 Eve the zoom dog.


 Allie is always so creative and been working on developing her watercolor paintings while watching episodes of The Office.  She made these menus for her the opening of the Fika Café where she serves iced and blended coffee drinks.  A specialty is her caramel macchiato and the s'mores blended drink.  
 Isabelle has been nurturing her little herb babies and they are getting closer to being able to plant outdoors.
 Poor little Russell got into a cage fight with his neighbor, Gus.
 Eve will make sure her humans never go back to school again!  

Juliette does her tap zoom class on the dance circle in her room.

 She just couldn't wait to open her gifts!  She got Dr. Martens boots, socks, a new phone case, a lot of gift cards and money too!  
 A big surprise and honestly all she wanted was to see some of her friends that she misses so much!  They measured out their chairs and were able to social distance a quick hello in the sunshine!

 She's also got much needed new bike!
 We took a family bike ride and then had hibachi at her request.
 A delicious chocolate cake and birthday wishes.

 Isabelle is a little Timotheé obsessed and so she was all smiles to get a poster from a friend and a pillow for her bed!  


























Isabelle is 15!

Here are a few more pictures from Easter Sunday.  


Having fun with pickle ball!




 We took a beautiful spring hike in Starkey Park.  Since a lot of the mid and high foliage hasn't leafed out we could see the meadows and forest floor with loads of wildflowers.

 Tonight, Allie brought us a game of family Jeopardy-ish.  We learned a lot about each other...and Mom was the winner!

 Pretty much!  Stay well everyone!
 Thank goodness we have some pool days every so often!
 Bunnies are getting a lot of lovin' too!
 Zoom dog at your service.  


 Dancing outside on Earth day!
