August Moments - 2023

Little moments in August.

Nels had an interview.  Kira wrote him this note.  I love the stuffed animals she drew at the bottom that represent each kid.  Kira - unicorn.  Isak- elephant.  Sofie- Panda. Noah- sloth.

Reading while waiting for Isak and Kira's swim lessons.

Noah learned to make his own toast.  He just needs a chair to be able to reach.

I made yummy soft applesauce chocolate chip cookies.  Grandma Stewart used to always make these.  I remember getting them out of her cookie jar when we visited her.

Drawing hummingbirds together.

Cozy morning...

School shopping and finding toys too.

FarFar sent Isak a certificate of completion for a Class A RC Vehicle Operations License.  Such a fun and thoughtful thing from his grandpa.  

Watch out!  Bubble slime.
