Ahoy!

Our favorite Colorado cousins spent last week with us so, of course, we spent all seven days together (Maddie told Grandma it'd be "dumb" to come all this way and not see Lexi every day!). Grandma Evelyn's life celebration, a trip to Kaleidoscope, family talent show (turns out Grandma can hula hoop!), blueberry pancakes, and inflatable slides at Monkey Bizness . . . we did it all!

All those activities, though, and the kids liked hanging out best of all! Lexi & Maddie disappeared for hours on end and the boys bonded over a pirate cartoon. Ahoy!

Rock Chalk!

14 kids + 9 adults = Jayhawk fun!










We had an impromptu neighborhood party for the Saturday night Big 12 Championship game. Pizza, juice boxes, and cupcakes kept the kids happy . . . which, in turn, kept the adults happy!

Preparing for Round 2 during the NCAA Tournament!

We're still here!

Wow! It's been a long time between posts! We're still here and have a few Frankie updates:

1) Frankie's hearing in both ears is now "within normal limits" after the tubes were inserted! We'll go back in four months to recheck.

2) We're continuing to look at options for Frankie's education and needs. In the meantime, we've started playing up his strengths and he's become an exceptional zucchini cooker!
