Midnight hairdo

Each summer before we go to Big Bear, I braid Allison's hair, but this year I decided to have a professional do it. My good friend Hanna from work is from Ethiopia and can braid beautifully and fast. I decided to take Allison and Ashton to work around 10:00pm so Hanah can get Allie's hair done. It was fun to see everyone and show off Ashton. We didn't get home until after midnight and Allison thought it was pretty cool to stay up so late.

You There

Each Wednesday while the big kids are at Awanas, Paul and I get to spend the evening with this little one. Tonight we took her out for dessert, and even saw a rainbow. Amongst Andrew and allisons busy schedule, it's nice to give Sshley some well deserved time of her own to be an only child. She talks nonstop and enjoys putting her arms around our necks and telling us how much she loves her. Ashley loves to give compliments and I must say I love receiving them.

Keep Calm and Fit-a-Thon

I feel very privileged to be apart of such an enthusiastic and unique school community. The kids both participated in this years biggest fundraiser, the Fit-a-Thon. Alison's class represented Japan and Andrews class represented Peru. It was one of the hottest days of "winter". A mere 90 degrees. But the kids did great. There was kickboxing, basketball, yoga and Zumba. Watching my two oldest participate and have fun brought a sense of happiness to my heart. They're both such innocent little souls. I hope this never changes.
