First, I'm pretty grateful for paid time off.  Days like today, when I don't feel like doing much and the 'urgent' to-do list is quiet, I'm happy to use it.  Though I am in my office, should be cleaning it (I have decor from LAST Christmas), and waiting for my intern to get here.

This morning is Copper's last full-day with Julie, since she spends Thursdays with Tim's mom.  So tomorrow is Micah and Kota's last day with her and I am SO SAD! I asked for a picture; kind of geeky but she's been a significant part of my kids' short little lives.  

Things we love about Julie Cole and her family:

They LOVE the girls and have welcomed them into their family

 Julie always opens the door with a smile and says, "Hi cuties!"

Julie tolerates Copper's picky food-isms

 Julie plays with the girls and teaches them new words and tricks

Max, Dallin, Lauren, and Sammy, and all the neighborhood kids, have chased the girls, played with them, teased them, and loved them.

The girls can roam the whole house, make messes, and it's okay

The girls rarely cry when mom leaves and wave goodbye while running to Julie

Julie doesn't mind taking Copper to school or picking her up when I can't

 Julie tolerates Copper bringing a backpack full of junk and strewing it all over the house

 Julie takes them on walks and to fun places

Julie has made them adorable skirts and bought them fun presents

Julie has been flexible with our sometimes crazy schedules and just rolls with it

Somehow, Julie sends them home clean.  I can't keep them clean for anything!
I could go on and on... the point is we love the Cole family and will miss them!

    Pretty sure it is breaking Julie's heart to let them go. She really is wonderful and the neighborhood will miss that family dearly! I am excited that we will still get to see the girls around the neighborhood though! :)

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...

 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
