The Princess Party

 

There's been a scarce number of nice days lately so we took advantage of the first one in awhile by exploring the river. 




Hudson's cars are never far away. 


Lydia is doing amazing in school right now. We had parent teacher conferences and her teacher couldn't say enough good things about her. She's in the top of her class in almost every subject and more importantly, is kind, respectful and a good friend. We couldn't be more proud. 

  Just look at that beautiful chair. Loren's spent the past few Saturdays working all day out in Avon on it. We're hoping it'll be done by the time our babe arrives. 

Last year, because of Covid, the annual Princess Party the Family Place puts on was cancelled. How excited we were this year to see it was on again! The morning of the party was a frenzy of hair and makeup but the girls looked beautiful in the end. 






The facepaint station was a hit this year. Luckily we got in line before it got long. The girls loved it.














Making "wish" chests for their special shells and gems.





  We weren't sure who this was but we took a picture with her anyway. 



After so many fun activities and pictures we were ready to sit down and enjoy a snack. 

  Then it was time for the ball! I think this is the girls' favorite part. Lydia danced with a prince!



  We had such a fun time and can't wait for next year!

 While the girls and I were gone, Loren was working on the chair. This is the headrest that he had to get just right. 


Allie is still loving preschool. They do so many fun things. 









Arm rests are done! It's hard to explain how much work Loren's put into this. I can't begin to count the number of hours he's spent on it. 

Silly girls!

Loren sent me this today. It look like they're tearing down the old buildings by the office. It will be interesting to see what will be built there instead.

Home Again!

  The end of another school year is here and with it brings our cross country road trip to Utah. Yay! We planned our trip two months in advance because my dad needed time to book our hotels. At the time, it seemed like common sense to leave right after Loren's last final on Thursday. I mean, what did we have to wait around for? The sooner the better!    Fast forward a week before we were to leave, I was seriously questioning our decision making abilities. Why didn't we just wait to leave on Friday so Loren could help me pack and finish cleaning? I still had a million things to do and couldn't get any of it done with Lydia wanting my attention. Loren was busy studying for finals and I felt guilty asking him for any help. What the blazes were we thinking?! It was a stressful time, to say the least.    One morning we woke to sirens and fire engines blaring. The visitors center had caught on fire! There was smoke everywhere and we spent the rest of the mornin...

"Grandma and Grandpa- Fun!"

  One thing i've really missed while being in Virginia is going to our siblings competitions and events. It's been so fun to be able to see them all in action this month.    Todd and Brendan were both involved in a debate competition. I was really impressed with how well they did, it's a scary thing but they did great!   The Wellsville mile is one of my favorite events of the year. It seems like theres more kids every time and they keep getting faster. We were so proud of Todd and Brendan, they both ran personal best times. Lydia had a blast watching all the kids, she wanted to run with them! Todd's enterauge. Emily and her friends were able to run with him. Great job boys!   This girl has amazed me with her dancing. She's grown so much from last year and is such a gorgeous dancer. It's so much fun to watch her. We went to her end of year dance performance and had a great time. Thank goodness for Loren, he's the only one who remembers to camera to take pictu...

Thanksgiving Bash!.. and Crash

  I have to say, this past week has been the most fun and exhausting week we've had in a long time.  But before we get into that, we had our first snowfall a couple weeks ago.  Lydia was DYING to make a snowman so daddy went out and helped her make one. They had a blast!   Here's some of Lydia's school papers.    The weekend before Thanksgiving our basement flooded.  One of the tubes that hook onto the gutter was pointed directly towards our house instead of away.  Thus, we had water in our family room and the unfinished room.  It kept coming in for two days.  About every 10 minutes we had to suck up the water on the first day, then about every hour on the second.  I think we have learned our lesson and plan on digging trenches to make a more efficient drainage system.  Thanks to everyone who helped! No permanent damage was done and we're so grateful.   Loren had a guys night with his...
