"Where are you going, Parker?"



"I dunno, momma.... wherever the path takes me."

a little news.

Things have been quietly buzzing behind the scenes here, and I'm excited to finally share the news that Mike has accepted a new job. His current situation is great--I can't complain, and he definitely wouldn't either...But we're really excited for the new opportunity. He's going back into fundraising, and will be doing so for a local technical school as the head of their foundation. He'll begin his new duties next week.

This means several things for us, for which we're (I'm?) rather excited...things will definitely change around here as we've both been working from home for the last two-plus years, but all for good reasons.

Onward and upward. :) Hooray for new adventures.

Sunday in KC

We've been in KC a ton over the last few weeks--between trips to the airport (Daddy), work stuff, birthday adventures, a race, and the like, it was fun to have a low-key visit on Sunday. Parker needed some new jeans (he's entered the phase of putting holes in clothes before he grows out of them) and it was time for a Costco trip.....and to top it off, we had a wonderful dinner on the Plaza with one of my aunts who was visiting KC, and we hadn't had the opportunity to see her in quite some time.

P thought the penguins were cool, too.

Fancy date night

We celebrated nothing on Saturday night and got dressed up for a night out with friends. A nice change from yoga pants & sweatshirts. :)

My funny valentine

P had valentine's party at school on Tuesday, so we made a little mac & cheese mailbox over the weekend.

We started here:


And ended here:


And we made these to put in the other classmates' mailboxes:

He thinks he's Spiderman

100th day of school

On Wednesday the kiddos celebrated the one hundredth days of school of this year! Each child colored their own iron on for a tshirt, and brought in 100 pieces of cereal, marshmallows, pretzels, etc to make a 100th day snack mix.

Pretty cute, no?


Just 80-ish more days to go until summer! (gasp!!)
