A Picture Update

Happy MEA weekend!

I had yesterday and today off...so the girls and I spent 2 solid days together.  I'm tired. :)

We spent time outside, got flu shots (followed by ice cream!), played at our house, played at Boom's house, visited Elliott, and raked ourselves a big ol' leave pile.

Earlier this week, Maya hung out with Boom on Monday, and both girls hung out with G-ma on Wednesday.

Callie and I each got back our school pictures this past week.  I think it is safe to say we look related.

Lastly, last night was the championship game for the Lynx.  The game ended in a heartbreaking series of events that you can read about if you google "game 5 WNBA championship."  We lost by 1 point and it was unbelievable.  I went with my mom, and we sat courtside, and the place was PACKED.  G-ma and Pa came over to our house to watch the game with Chris and the girls.  And they saw us on TV! As did Mari and my friend Libby, who sent screenshots!

So proud of the Lynx.  They are a fantastic group of athletes, and we can't wait until next season!

Have a great weekend.

God Bless Maya Leigh!

Maya was baptized three years ago today! Here we are with Uncle Joe, who baptized her, and her two Godmothers. 

 

One of my very favorite pictures of my dad came from this baptism weekend. We had a lot of family over to our house one night, and he was holding Maya after dinner. His smile lit up the room.

 

It was after this picture was taken that we started calling her his mini-me.

I'm so grateful that Maya's middle name is Leigh, inspired by her Bops.

Timehop Tuesday

Hey all! It's Tuesday again. They come up fast every week!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

The big event of our weekend was Laura Suurmeyer's wedding!!!! The girls spent the night at G-ma and Pa's house so we could actually enjoy ourselves at the wedding. :)

 

The wedding was beautiful and the reception was so much fun! There was a live band, great food and wonderful people.

 

 

 

It was my goal to get a picture of all of the original Henderson/Suurmeyers with each of their spouses. Mission accomplished!!

 

My next goal is to dig up a picture of the original 7 from our middle school years to do a side-by-side. Stay tuned for that!

The girls had a great time at their sleepover.

 

Today was spent cleaning. But it was worth it for our Lynx party! 

 

The game starts in 10 minutes and they have to win or the season is done. Fingers crossed!

A Picture Update

Hey all. Happy Friday. This was a bit of a strange week, as Chris had a busniness trip Monday through Wednesday. But the girls and I made it through and I managed the double drop offs and pick ups ok. 

Here are the pictures from the week:

Monday sunrays on the way to work.

 

A walk to the library after school.

 

The girls with G-ma and Pa.

 

 And picking out pumpkins.

 

And finally, some dance moves to start your weekend right.

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all!  Happy Sunday!

Let's see...our weekend.  It was pretty good.

On Saturday Cal and I went for a mile run together!  We realized that we need to get her some actual running clothes.  But she did great.  We just need to work on pacing. But she finished strong with a couple great cheerleaders waiting for her.

It must have tired her out, though, because she was SO droopy at dance class! Here she is doing her "star" test for Baby Bumblebee.  Ms. Connie asked her later if she missed nap time. ;0)

After dance I brought Callie down to Boom's house for her first sleepover at Boom's new condo! Looks like they had a blast.

Maya enjoyed one-on-one time (playing outside, going to the humane society) with Mommy and Daddy, and even requested a ponytail, just like Mom!

She is so goofy!

Today I did a pretty poor job of taking pictures, considering the girls hung out at Auntie Cat's house and we got to go on a lunch date.  But we also played outside, watched the Lynx game (with popcorn!) and just chilled at home.

Oh yeah!  Callie lost her 3rd tooth!

So the tooth fairy will come tonight.  Exciting stuff!
