Happy 18th Birthday!

Date of occurrence:
February 8, 2025.

Kc had to work till 3 am last night. As Opa said:”He leaves as a child and comes back as a man!” Yes, it is Kc’s 18th birthday! He is legal now. lol.

He is exhausted when he comes home and gets sick a little later. He ate something wrong, but feels better after he emptied both his stomach and his guts.

He rests for a few hours and then is ready to blow out the candles on the cookie cake he wanted and even samples it. That’s a good sign, because there are more festivities planned for today.

Happy birthday, little man. Oops, forgive me. The ‘little’ left a while ago.

Happy birthday, man! Grin.

Hello Kitty Party

Date of occurrence:
February 1, 2025.

All the sicknesses have gone. Everyone is healthy and well again and Londyn is finally having her Hello Kitty themed birthday party. 

Londyn has a good time, for which we are grateful. And we are super grateful for Londyn.

She loves all her gifts and the attention, but she shares it.

When it is time to blow out her candles, she calls Sophia to come and help her.

Oh, you sweet, little thing!

Congrats, Bud!

So cool. Well done, buddy. Congrats!

We are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday, Leo!

Yay, Leo is seventeen years old.

He has his permanent driver’s license, lots of birthday money, and… sadly, no more girlfriend.

He doesn’t seem to be too ‘broken up’ about it and is enjoying his special day.

We are glad he is fine and looking forward to his birthday dinner: Mexican.

Happy Birthday, Leo. We love you!

Hello Mr. Snowman

Lily and Londyn went out for round two.

With their mom’s help, they made a snowman.

And they send us a picture of him.

We laugh at their creativity.

He turned out to be quite unique. 

Well done, guys!

Fun For All

Date of occurrence:

And the snow keeps coming down. They estimate we will get around 5 inches, but I suspect it will exceed their expectations. We already have a thick blanket of snow covering up everything.

Not just the young ones are elated. We truly enjoy this winter wonderland and so does Kc and even aunt A. Our grandson makes a snow angel in our front yard and aunt A. makes one in her own backyard.

It is all for fun and fun for all! :-D

Snow? Snow!!

Date of occurrence:
January 21, 2025.

It is snowing, and not just a light dusting that’s gone within a hour. We are experiencing near blizzard conditions. Snow is accumulating by the hour, accompanied by wind and freezing temperatures.

That is super rare here at the Gulf coast. They state that this is an historic event. This hasn’t happened in over 50 years!

Schools, bridges, and some roads are closed. Kc is staying with us, Sophia is at her Dads, and Bella is still staying with a friend. Both girls are not intimidated by the snow and dive right in.

All the kids see snow for the first time in their lives and… they are loving it.

Lily and Londyn are at home. All bundled up, they throw snowballs and excitedly run around. We ask them to build a snowman. Londyn doesn’t know how to do that and asks her mom for instructions.

It is so good to see them have fun in the snow, even if it’s not for long. It is way too cold. Maybe the snowman will make an appearance later today, because it will continue snowing almost all day.

Let it snow. We enjoy it! ☃️

Emmaly has exciting news to share.

She has her learner’s permit!

So, there is plenty of time to practice.

With driving comes great responsibility.

And more worries for us! 🤔
