 First outdoor track meet tonight. Both girls ran their relays well. The start of outdoor track season always starts slow. Everyone needs to learn the flow of events, etc. 

Could have done without the mid-meet rain, but the rainbow was pretty!

Looking forward to many nights like these. Love watching them do their thing & we are still so excited for Margaux to be running varsity with Marin. xoxo

 Junior Prom for Marin today. They're all so excited. This morning they all got together in their pj's to make their bouquets & have breakfast together with the moms. We all had a great time & they did a fantastic job. The flowers are beautiful!

Once they were dressed this afternoon, Sloane stopped to see Marin before we left for pictures. Marin looks beautiful. 
All loaded up on the bus, ready to go take photos. Little break for Marin & Emmett so she's with friends for the evening & excited for a fun night.

These 3, together since kindergarten.

Beautiful girls & beautiful friendships. Hard to believe they'll be seniors next school year. Makes this mamma tear up.
Girls + moms
Just missing Maeve here. She was busy bumming around with the girls. 
I hope they have the most fun this evening. Love you Marin, you are beautiful! xoxo

 This mural showed up at my grandparents apartment & they had no idea where it came from. After some investigating, we figured out it shipped from Australia and it was supposed to go to the front office of their apartment building. While I dug into things, my sister put it together & taped it up on the wall. Too good to not take a picture. Apparently, it's a window mural for the new chapel in the building. So odd, but it's a great pic!

Maeve had her last 7th grade year choir concert this week too. Great concert, but she is real happy it is done. Not sure she'll be doing choir next year... we'll see!
Definitely won't be the same without Talayla here either! School, choir, the neighborhood. We are still so sad that they're moving to Boston. Hits home so many days. We'll just keep soaking in the time we have with them. xoxo

Happy Easter! We came home & got right into full holiday mode. Starting with an egg hunt with the kids at Katie & Mikes/

After a nap, we headed to Amy's for dinner with the family. So fortunate to still be sharing holidays with these two. Love them so much.
Grandpa & the ladies...

I just love this picture, captures all of their personalities so well.
Now time to start a little laundry & go to bed! We all had a great dat & it feels happy to be home.

We're home & took way too many photos to post. So I am choosing a few of our favorites. We all had a great week, so much fun together. Beach games, great dinners together & dance parties in the evenings. The resort was beautiful, I wanted to stop and take photos every 5 steps.

Maeve & Talayla had the best week together. Love these two so much, they are soaking up their time together before Layla moves to Boston. 
The girls had suits & outfits for photos each day & night. I can't even imagine how many pictures they have on their phones. The sign of a beautiful week. 
The resort had a white party night. How cute are these kids? Love them all.
Different crew on the yacht this year, but we had a great time once again. 
I wish I had someone to make me lunch every day. Chips & guac for every meal... my heaven! 
Kids enjoyed an epic foam party...
Snorkeling...
and hibachi two nights... their request.  They all enjoyed the fun experience.
Before dinner pics for days....


And one more family pic on our last night with a beautiful sunset.
Thankful for these vacations we have taken together. Hopeful we can continue the tradition for many years to come. Great week, our hearts are full. And the suntan is good for the soul. xoxo

 And we're off! Traveling with our crew to the Dominican. Stay tuned... we're pretty excited for a week of fun and sun!


Love these kids, ready to make some memories! xoxo

 Indoor track season has begun. Margaux & Naina are two of 4 freshman girls on the varsity team. So proud of these girls. Looking forward to a fun season.

Marin's relay is off to a solid start.
Madi & Marin are thrilled to have Laken join them this season. She's taking a break from soccer. Always more fun to have another best friend on your team.

Fun night watching all of these girls. 

Proud of you ladies! Ready for the weekly meets to start... after spring break! xoxo

 We've got another driver in the house!!


Watch out for Marg on the streets! Not sure how the car share will go, but I guess we've got a year to think about that one! Good job Marg! xoxo

 Along with Valentines come Galentines! These girls love to celebrate anything they can. Maeve and her friends gathered for lots of desserts & Bubblr. They each made a charcuterie board of some sort.

Maeve was in charge of fruit. It turned out cute!
It was nice out yesterday so Maeve, Layla, Eva & Avi had a little winter picture session by the downtown murals. 
Maeve + Talayla. She's going to be heartbroken when she moves in a few months. We all will be! But they sure look cute in this picture!
Marg had a galentines gathering too. They also did charcuterie boards. Margaux brought a Chick fil a platter. She said it was gone in about 5 mins & definitely a hit.
They did such a nice job all wearing coordinating outfits. 
Happy Galentines Day ladies! Thankful that you all have wonderful friends. xoxo

 Happy Valentines Day! Gary is traveling this week, so the girls & I celebrated together. Maeve, myself & Marg ordered Chik fil a & Marin had a sub. Fancy dinner! 


Margaux was so excited for the dessert pizza that Karis delivered. 
Pretty low-key dinner, but we had fun! Love you girls. xoxo

 Tonight the girls had their Snoball dance at school. Another dance for Marin + Emmett. This one is pretty chill, most of the girls just borrow dresses from each other. So nice to not have to order dresses, they all have so many between them all.

Margaux and her crew took such cute pictures. I still can't believe she is in high school.
The girls took photos at separate hotels. It is hard to find different places to take photos in the winter. We need to get creative next year for something different. The junior girls all looked great!


Hopeful that they all have a fun & safe night together. I'm sure they'll sleep 1/2 of the day tomorrow & then I will hear about it. xoxo
