Friday was an exciting day. Molly and Ashley brought home their report cards and they both did great! The most exciting part was finding out that Ashley tested out of RAP (Reading Assistance Program). I have seen a lot of growth this past trimester and am excited that she’s doing so much better.

I am really enjoying my full time job of taking care of our home and family. When I stopped teaching after Sage was born, I thought for sure I would want to go back to teaching after Ashley was in school full time. I’m so thankful that Tom’s job allows me to stay home full time, as there is so much going on with our family of 5.
When I was home for a year in active cancer treatment, I noticed every little part of our home that needed repair, saw so many things that could be organized and noticed many things that we had that we never used. As I recovered and had more energy, I’ve put some routines in place and have slowly completed home projects (with Tom’s help), digitized all our files and keepsakes, collected serial numbers for valuables and organized every room and closet of our home. It’s nice to be on the tail end of all that and just maintain things.
We are all really enjoying our family dates each month! This month, we went and saw the musical “Anything Goes” up at the University of Washington. It was sooooooo good. We had never seen anything by their drama department and were impressed. The theater was small and we were able to sit in the front row. It was such a different experience being so close to the actors! (more…)
4 of the 5 of us were sick, one was at the Dr. the morning we left, 2 stayed home from school…but we decided to go! Sage had tried out for All State Choir earlier in the school year and was selected! Friday morning, when everyone was so miserable, we were unsure about going. But Sage still wanted to try, so off we went.
Our first stop was Ellensburg. It was FREEZING, but we needed to get out of the car for a few minutes, so we walked around. Sage is OBSESSED with the camera on Tom’s phone which blurs the background of pictures. So of course we stopped a few times to take pictures for her Instagram feed!
It’s hard tol believe it’s time for the AWANA Grand Prix again. No trophies this year, but they still had fun!
Molly’s car was called “Stars and Stripes.” Ashley’s car was, “Minnie Mouse.” They both turned out so cute!
For our 3rd family date, we had Afternoon at the Secret Garden in Sumner. We chose the Valentine Tea since Valentine’s Day is on Wednesday! Everything was soooooooo good and everyone loved it. I think we all ate way too much though! (more…)
