Quotables from #4
Shecklet #4 to Uncle Tony, very matter-of-factly at the office today: “I was borned in the ambulance.”

1st day 2016-2017 (part 2)
My mini-me, Shecklet #3, is off to her first day of kindergarten!
Here she was at the end of the day. Her response to my asking how the day was, “Can I go back tomorrow?!?” I think that means she had a great 1st day!
Plant Nite
Kari invited her mom and sisters out for a Plant Nite to celebrate her birthday. Larissa couldn’t make it, but the rest of us had a fun time!
Last day of school!
Frozen yogurt tradition on the last day of school for the boys. Off to 3rd and 4th grade in August with Shecklet #3 joining them in kindergarten.
Valleyfair 2016
Grandpa Dave and Grandma Patti took us to Valleyfair as part of Grandpa Dave’s work outing. Shecklet #2 couldn’t get enough of the Corkscrew – he and Jake went on it 4 times in a row! It was a hot day, so we tried out Thunder Canyon (minus Shecklet #4 because she wasn’t tall enough.)
Big and little
This almost 10 year old is such a good big brother. Here is just one reason why.
Shecklet #4 picked out “The Littlest Petshop” figures with a Valentine’s Day gift card she got from Nana and Papa. Shecklet #1 took time to let her show him her new toys.
Matching stripes
Nana stopped over today and delivered some tasty treats, milk, and spaghetti sauce that Papa had made. She came from BSF and was heading to an exercise appointment, so she made a wardrobe change before leaving our house. When she reappeared from the bathroom, Shecklet #3 immediately noticed that they matched!
Xmas in MG 2015
Lots of laughs and fun memories made today. It was our niece’s first Xmas, which made it even more special.
Shecklet #4 received pink “sheeters” just like Nana. Her big sister also received a purple pair. Papa had to work hard to get the lenses out of the frames! The girls had a lot of fun helping everyone else open their gifts. And the boys waited very patiently as we took turns pulling surprises out of our gift bags.
Christmas Eve 2015
My parents joined us for Christmas Eve mass and dinner afterward.
Note to self for next year – arriving 30 minutes before mass starts is not advised if 8 people would like to sit in the same pew. Thankfully, we were able to find 8 folding chair spots with unobstructed views. The church was packed – which is an awesome thing! So happy to see joy and excitement in people – especially in the faces of the little ones.
