Hazel: "Mommy, I’m going to sleep with Daddy every night."
Kim: "Ok"
Hazel: "But in the morning when Daddy goes to exercise, you can have a turn to sleep with me if you’re not nursing Margot, ok"
Kim: "Ahh, Hazel, that’s so sweet. Thanks."

(hug)

Hazel: "Mommy, can we get ice cream cones for desert?"
Kim: "Hazel, we’re having ice cream with berry toppings. If you get a cone, you can’t fit any berries."

(Hazel pauses for a moment to think)

Hazel: "Mommy, I have a solution. How about I hold the ice cream cone with my right hand, and eat the berries with my left hand?"
Kim: "Hmm, well, I guess that’s good solution. Ok, sure."

Margot gems:

Whenever I ask Margot where anything is, she holds her hands up, bent at the elbows, and gives me a quizzical little grin. "been doh"

Margot gives great slobbery open mouthed baby kisses, and she’s learned how to hug.

She loves music and will turn on music in her toys, stand up, and just bounce to the beat of the music.

Geoff takes great care of the girls and me and cooks us delicious dinners shared with loved ones. He leaves me trails of empty string cheese wrappers wherever he goes so I can find him in case of emergency.

I love love love my babies.

Had a fun Thanksgiving. Both girls dressed up, Hazel went with friends to trick or treat and have a sleepover. Kim and I met up with Margot and her friends and went trick or treating. Margot won a $20 gift card from a costume contest!

Hazel has been working really hard at school this year. Soccer practice 4 days a week after school, volunteering, an AP class as a freshman, student newspaper, homework, etc. There have been some late evenings and skipping some family stuff to work. She’s been putting

Kim picked pomegranates this morning. Most of these are the size of a softball, and the tree still has lots.

Margot recently decided she wanted to crochet a chicken. She didn’t have a kit or instructions. She just looked at some pictures of chickens online for “inspo” and then made this up in her head then crocheted it. I’m amazed at how she just figures

Pulp and LCD Soundsystem Hazel loves Pulp. She was a little surprised to find out they are in their 60’s and that most of the crowd is my age or older, lol. We had a really great time at the concert. Kim and Margot decided

As parents, we often get caught up in trends we don't fully understand. Trader Joe's mini cooler bags have gained immense popularity, with people eagerly queuing for them! My daughter Margot was excited to find the perfect peach bag for her school lunch. After months

Video from my recent Grand Canyon trip with my 11 year daughter. Her second time down the canyon, and she has done other big river trips. But I was nervous because she was the only kid on the trip, other trips she has at least
