IJ has been taking guitar lessons every Sunday for most of the school year.



Both kids did the same winter soccer program, on different evenings.


Acting silly with friends at school.


I told ZJ she should pick an outfit for school pictures and she chose this.




ZJ got a new winter jacket. Her first ever new (not from IJ) coat.









I donated my wedding dress to a group who uses them to sew funeral dresses for babies. They held an event to take professional photos of your children in them first.

ZJ was upset one day so IJ drew her whatever she wanted to cheer her up - a unicorn on a rainbow with hearts.


Both kids had their holiday programs on the same day.




ZJ had her first professional haircut. I took her to the person who has cut my hair for about 10 years.


We had a nice zoo trip over the break.








We went on an evening walk to check out the lights in our neighborhood.


We went to Austin to see my cousins and have a little fun. The kids went ice skating for the first time.












My kids are weird. I turned back to see IJ smelling ZJ's hair as he likes to do.

IJ's Fall soccer team (minus a couple kids).

ZJ had a slackline set up during the camping theme at school.


Every Friday ZJ stays later and listens to storytelling and a puppet show.


Nurse ZJ took the staple out of IJ's head.


ZJ and her friend at a cold and rainy soccer game.


Just like her mama, petting a hissing cockroach.


School dress up.


Storybook parade at IJ's school.




ZJ attended her first drum circle with her new drum.


ZJ attended Thanksgiving camp and became friends with a preK student at her school who has also had open heart surgery. This friend actually has a heart transplant.


IJ attended the camp one day and read a thanksgiving book to all the kids.
