this week

michael and i went to a social media/internet safety class together
it was eye opening and nice to go together so we're on the same page
this handsome boy started preschool this week
 pretty great first day! i'm so happy henry has friends in his class and loves it

 my sweet friend and neighbor danica stopped by while i was mowing and we hung out a while
 i was happy i convinced nicole to ride bikes to our ministering interview
  tami (was ruth) and her family stayed the night on their way moving back to seattle
big fans of baby charlie, here
michael and andy happened to be wearing the same random shorts
michael thinks he bought his at the boise albertsons before we were married
and andy inherited his somewhere
it was a funny coincidence 
cute sleepy juju

 i had an embarrassing encounter at the bank after biking there
but the boys were happy with their suckers
 danica invited us for lunch
 then carlin and i biked the kids to and from preschool together
 court of honor for the scouts
 proud of this kid
 the face jude made when i asked if he was eating dirt
i was hoping we were past that...
 the boys right before the power went out yesterday morning
apparently 3000 in our area (plus the schools) were knocked out
 hazel and jane trying to bike to school together
 stuck and waiting to be rescued during a playgroup at our house
 cute jude after his nap before we went and got henry
 noah's first cross country meet




 he was not the fastest but we're proud of him for trying something new
 eleanor lost her 6th tooth last night
she is having a hard time at school 
her teacher is a big yeller and i think it's causing her some anxiety
but last night we took extra time reading together
 and cuddling so hopefully she is feeling a little better
 olive wanted a picture, too
 we stayed up late starting to tile the bathroom
pretty exciting
