deep thoughts

Babka contemplates art.

registration

Just two kiddos registering for sophomore and senior (!!!) year! Gasp! 😮  Also pictured, Yale sweatshirt that is now 55+ years old, on its third generation of wear, and still in circulation!  

art show

Abby had one of her pieces (car packed up for switching night) in the district art show! It was a fun event and lots of people had good things to say about Abby's art!

last chance meet

Nate won the fastest heat of 100 breast at the last chance meet, and qualified for districts!!  1:14.22  A good end to his first swim team season!

new spot

Blizz finds a new spot to get cozy! Nate's swim bag.

Babka contemplates a turd that somehow was not in the litter box. 💩 🤔

Nate did a great job at solo and ensemble this year!

snow day!

First snow of the year and a Monday snow day! Nate and Bradley are working on a snowman. Abby still sleeping!

Blizz went out to inspect the first snowflakes of the season. He's a fan!

cone vs abby

Large stationary cone in gas station parking lot vs Abby and a moving Subaru.  Honestly not sure who "won" this encounter.  Maybe the cone?

new years!

2025 here we come!  It was fun to ring in the new year with a portion of the camping crew at Kapena and Claudia's!  Grapes feature prominently in Abby's vision for what will bring good fortune for the coming year, so she ate 12 grapes under the table at midnight while making wishes.  Stay tuned for how that all works out!  Lively games of reverse charades and a new fave - kleenex box filled with ping pong balls attached to waists and you need to shake your booty to get the balls out. (Game sponsors, the dynamic duo of Niko and Abby, pictured below.)
