Catch up on LIFE!!

 Micah's classic "take my picture face"

 Piling everything together makes for more fun! 


 Copper's latest artwork.  She found a child-drawn picture from The Friend and copied it.  It's a family sitting on the couch together, dog on rug at their feet, with a nightstand/lamp, paintings on the wall, and in the middle The Proclamation.  The writing can be tricky but talks about reading and watching things that fill our soul with holiness.  I love it!  She's such a good little artist.

 These two... best friends and cousins.  They love time together.  They scream, hug, and jump up and down when they see each other.  If they saw each other twice weekly it wouldn't be enough.  We love Maci!


 It's been a while since we've had snow.  In fact, last week it was in the upper 60s!  But when it does snow, these three can be found outside pulling their weight by shoveling.

 The girls woke up on Valentine's Day to surprises... colored hair extensions, new coloring books, and new fork/spoon sets.  Plus candy, which is all Micah really cared about anyway.

 Copper's face when she has a staring contest.  She's getting pretty good!

 Copper's first trip to get her hair cut at a "real place."    They even styled it after so she looked like a princess.
Dakota's grand idea... unroll all the paper towels and shred them in little pieces.  When mom got upset, she wailed, "But m-o-m, I'm making a sidewalk!"  Creative at least.

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...
