Today, we were invited to the girl's school to take part in a thank you ceremony for State Representative Terry Wilson. He has been advocating for charter schools and charter school funding, so the school presented him with a plaque. Today, Nora shined. Her artwork was the artwork selected out of all the student submissions to be framed on the plaque. Prior to the ceremony, she gave Rep. Wilson a tour of their school orchard, which her class maintains, and she also spoke on behalf of the student body while presenting him with the plaque. She was well-spoken and poised. I couldn't have been more proud.

Two. ♥️♥️ I cannot even express how much my heart explodes with love for our tiniest girl. She really is the the greatest gift we could have asked for to round out our family, and I cannot believe she's going to be two years old tomorrow. Squeeze them tight - it goes by way too fast.

Early morning volleyball game with the 7-9 year old division. Mostly they make points off serves or failed serves but about twice a game, someone manages to return a serve and it gets really exciting.

Here's a before and after (or I guess an after and before) of our tiny master bathroom remodel. Swipe to see some before pictures and also a photo of Zara and Vivi checking out our new shower. This room was the last room that needed to be updated from when we bought the house in 2018. The house previously had a single owner and she had never updated anything since the house was built in 1970. It had original green appliance in the kitchen, gross carpet, and was a major (but fun) project when we first bought it. The master bathroom is only 6ft X 6ft, but it's bigger than our RV bathroom was and the house before that didn't have a master bath so it's definitely an upgrade. We originally didn't update it when we did the remodel in the main areas because of budget, and let me tell you, the bathroom was gross. The sink was chipped and rusty, there was mold and cracked tile in the shower, and it was super dark and cramped in there. It took us a while to find a contractor with reasonable bid, but we finally got a great recommendation from a friend and I'm super happy with how it turned out. Removing the walls and drop ceiling from the shower made a huge difference! This is one of the cool things to have come out of this year.

#Halloween 2021: a scarecrow, a witch, a circus ring master and Dumbo the elephant. I'm feeling the transition from child to teen a lot with Nora this year. We went to a friend's house to trick or treat this year. They have kids the same age as our oldest three and the the oldest kids, Nora included, didn't even go trick or treating. They stayed at the house handing out candy instead. Next year I'm not even certain that she'll want to dress up, so I have to enjoy my 4 costumed girls while I can.
