No binoculars needed

I am having a great time as a chaperone on Molly's 5th grade trip. Today's mail event was a beautiful home to see the elephant seals up close! They are equal parts fascinating, hilarious, and terrifyingly huge. (Molly is on the right in yellow).

Awww...

Another cute-filled visit with Robin!

Hey neighbor!

Middle School is happening

We've visited the two local middle schools, done our research, ranked pros and cons, checked our gut feelings, and today I took the first step (in an overly complicated system) to sending Molly to middle school next year.

From the start, Molly knew she wanted to go to Willard, but since the other school is so close to our house, I insisted that we at least give it a fair shake. Turns out it was a close contender, but Willard won by a hair (and a drama program plus that "feeling").

Clara, on the other hand, was ready to get started at Longfellow the minute she walked in. Slow down, girl! You've got a few more years in elementary school!

Welcome Baby Robin!

We are all over the moon with excitement about the arrival of our newest relative: Robin! She was born yesterday and is keeping Seth and Kristen busy already! So much love!

Wet swim meet

Another wet swim meet - we are getting better at this (although everything ended up flooded under the team tent). So glad we could team up with Lucy C & Robin to get Molly to her races while I was a timer.
