Keepsake Interviews (2018 Edition)

It's time for our annual Back-to-School Interviews!  This is one of my favorite traditions.  I take back-to-school pictures of the kids and ask them a bunch of questions. It is so much fun to look back at their responses over the years and see how they have changed. For the first time in forever I actually got this done and put up at the beginning of the school year!

From the past: 

2011- Sebastian is 4; Kaelyn is 1 

2012- Sebastian is 5; Kaelyn is 2 

2013- Sebastian is 6; Kaelyn is 3

Child test. No coaching. Just write down exactly what they say. Lol this is quite fun to do!!

Birthdays!

This past week we celebrated my husband's 35th birthday on the same day we celebrated Oliver's 6 month birthday. Also... spring!!

Hello, March

Welcome home, Yuka

This weekend we brought home the newest member of our family, Yuka ( 優花 ). Yuka (pronounced yoo' ka) is Japanese for "gentle flower." She is a King Cavalier/poodle/beagle/maybe lab? mix. She is sweet and loves our children. She prefers them to us adults! She is adjusting nicely and we have all fallen in love with her.
