Update 14

 This is Mom's birthday party. Laurie and I mentioned we have a beautiful friend and Bobby wanted us to send her pictures of him so she would go out with him. 

From Ruby; I love my mommy and my sister.

Update 13

These next several posts are all out of order. 

Here's Ella, lookin' cool in Hawaii.

Ruby got her first sunburn. It was the weirdest thing! It turned brown the next day.

I'm ridiculous about this cat. But he got lost somewhere. He was just gone and I was so worried. Then we came home one and he was there! His voice sounded scratchy for a day or two but no other problems or injuries. Laurie thought maybe he got stuck somewhere and was dehydrated but he didn't seem super hungry or anything. 

We went to Harry Potter Day at the Arlington Public Library. It was very fun.

Baby Maggie.

This is Maggie at a dance at the end of her seventh grade year.

 

Update 12

We were supposed to go over to Laurie's house and didn't (I don't remember why). So Jill expressed her anger with art.

Taking a cue from Ruby.

The girls had a movie night with Grandpa. 

This is from Galentine's, Ashley's party. 

I never want to forget this. 

Look how small Maggie is! Although this is the first day of school I believe. We just had her yearly and she is 5'4"!

 

Update 11

Brunch with Nana and Gran. Ruby took these pictures, obviously. 

Work vehicle day.

This was Ruby trying to take a picture of her rear. She is so strange.

I had a first grader who lost her mind and my foot got in the way.

It was April Fools day. I explained how it works and Ruby wanted to get Ms. White. I told her to go in and tell Ms. White she wasn't going to do any work all day and then say April Fools! She was so nervous. Ms. White said she did it though. Then Ms. White told them they were getting a sweet treat in the afternoon. They got brown Es (instead of brownies).

Jeff and I shared a pitcher of margaritas at the movie after a hard week. 

Here's Ruby getting her hair dyed for the second time. 

Maggie got a hair trim.
