New York, New York

Date of occurrence:
August 29, 2025.

Leo and Emmaly are very excited to tell us all about their visit to New York.

It was their first time flying and they enjoyed it.

They visited several famous sites and a concert, but…

What was most impressive to both was the food and drinks. That figures, lol.

We are glad they had a great time!😁

So Pretty

Date of occurrence:
August 24, 2025.

Kids messenger alerts us.

Lily sent us a picture.

Hmm, what do I see there?

She is wearing some make up.

And boy…,

She looks sooo pretty!

Labubu

Date of occurrence:
August 20, 2025.

The kids get here for Opa’s birthday. Londyn comes in, gives me a big hug and says:”I have a boo boo!”
Me:"Oh no! What happened?"

No, she didn’t hurt herself. She does not have a boo boo, but a Labubu. It is apparently a new type of doll.

Stay up to date, Oma! Grin.

Party Time

Date of occurrence:
August 20, 2025.

It is Opa’s birthday and we all have dinner together, except for Sophia who came down with a cold and fever.

It is good to see the girls, since it has been a while when we saw them last. They truly enjoy their meal and we enjoy their company and school stories.

They are all getting so tall. That also reminds me.

We are getting old! lol.

Cheaper And Safer

Date of occurrence:
August 18, 2025.

Kc has decided to get contact lenses. That turns out not to be as easy as it sounds. The eye exam reveals the pressure in his eyes is too high.

He is prescribed eye drops and has to come back in two weeks to check his eyes again. Two weeks later, the pressure has dropped, but not enough yet. Another round of eye drops later, he finally gets his contacts.

The first couple of days are a disaster.

Kc has trouble getting his contacts in.

The third day it takes him 20 minutes.

He scratches his eye during the process.

The contacts hurt now and he has to take them out.

He didn’t get glasses for back up. His old pair is broken. Now what?

He has to take off from work, go back to the eye glass place, and hope he can get glasses asap. He is blessed. They are ready within a few hours.

Thank goodness for that. His eye has to heal before he can try the contacts again. 

It seems to me that glasses are the cheaper and safer option!

The Middle

Date of occurrence:
August 11, 2025.

For Isabella it’s back to middle school. She is fine with it, but not overly excited. She is more interested in which teachers she gets. She is a little worried when she gets home.

Bella tells her mom:

”One of my teachers has a lazy eye. 

I don’t know which eye to look in.”

Mom laughs:”Confusing, huh?”

Bella:”Yeah!”

Mom:”Just look in the middle.”

Excellent advice!👍

First Day

Date of occurrence:
August 11, 2025.

It is Sophia’s first day of school.

She will be attending Kindergarten this year.

Sophia is excited.

She happily shows off her new school clothes.

We hope she does better in Kindergarten than she did in daycare! lol.

Back To School

Date of occurrence:
August 11, 2025.

It is that time again.

Back to school.

The girls are excited.

They ride the same bus.

Which is a good thing.

They can keep an eye on each other.

But, first things first.

Getting on the bus and back to school.

Have a great day, girls! Thinking of you!

So Cute

Date of occurrence:
July 28, 2025.

Kc and his girlfriend are going out to dinner.

They are all dressed up.

They look so pretty and cute together.

They can’t go without me taking a picture first.

That’s done quickly and off they go.

Bon appetit, guys!

Never To Old

Date of occurrence:
July 28, 2025.

It is getting awfully quiet.

All the kids have disappeared.

I find them in the guest bedroom.

They are all playing together.

That goes to show you…

No one is ever to old to have fun!
