First day!
Jake started a new job today! Shecklet #4 wanted a 1st day picture with him before he headed off. We celebrated with a family dinner and cake!

Halloween 2016
I took Shecklet #4 to the office to trick or treat and say hi to Papa. After that stop, we headed to the house to see Nana.
Three of the Shecklets wanted to go trick-or-treating this year. #2 decided to stay home, hand out candy, and count kids. It was a drizzly night, but everyone had fun. Shecklet #4 asked when she could go again 🎃
Quotables from #4
On the way to my women’s group at church, I heard this from Shecklet #4:
“I have two nicknames, Disgust and Hello Kitty. [Shecklet #3] is Joy and Leia.”
No idea where she comes up with this stuff. She has been saying her nickname is Hello Kitty for a while, but Disgust was a new one – possibly due to the Inside Out band-aid she was wearing this AM. The kid cracks me up!
Hit it!
The boys did a skiing version of this in the backyard of our old house. Today, the youngest practiced her “hit it” for next summer at the lake. (Click the square to the right of the video’s blue audio control to get the full view.)
Watermelon surprise
All four Shecklets planted various seeds last spring and we had varying results. Strawberries didn’t make it, zinnias bloomed in late summer, carrots are TBD and watermelons grew vines, but we didn’t see any fruit. That is, until Jake went to pull out the plants. This is what he found:
They weren’t edible, (white inside, not pink) but it was exciting to find out that they did, in fact, grow!
2016 Vacation – Day 5
All good things must come to an end, isn’t that how the saying goes? We packed a ton of fun-ness into a few short days and made a ton of fantastic memories. One final one was a visit to the Cathedral Basilica, complete with a tour given by our friend. We had been in the Cathedral before, but this time we had a chance to take in the beauty and detail of this amazing church.
