Tom texted me to come downstairs because he needed to get up (and obviously the dogs still needed a warm lap)…
So I come downstairs and put a blanket on my lap and they got up and ran over.
They’re not spoiled. Nope.
Lap switcharoo

Of course I had the worst seat possible to get a picture of Owen…This was Tom’s shot. They did well.
The difference is obvious
A trio of Ivy Portraits
Subtitled: The ears on this one!
Had a glorious dream about spring…
Woke up excited. Looked outside.
Katie sent us this Ivy photo
We were at dinner at David and Anna’s and Katie needed time on her phone so she could send us a cute Ivy pic.
Dogs and their heater
They’ll take any sun.
It must be gremlins, then?
I discovered this mess today. No one claims it. Not even Owen, the only person in charge of emptying the dishwasher.
I think they missed me.
Leaving Atlanta. Boooooo.
It was hard saying goodbye because we had soooo much fun and soooo many laughs and we all get along soooo well.
But we’re counting the days until Kelly hopefully comes back to Chicago this ssummer—and we have a birthday girls weekend to plan for September!
Atlanta Day 4
Atlanta Day 3
Atlanta Day 2
Let’s get this party started!
Atlanta bound for girl’s weekend!
Our friend Kelly really needed our support during a rough patch so we decided a girls long weekend was in order!
Somehow we managed to have the only empty seat on the plane in our row! We definitely took advantage!
Happy ✨ Golden✨ birthday Olive!
She got a can of dog food for her gift! We had to hold Ivy while it happened otherwise there would have been chaos!
My life with Katie
Checking out their new home.
Since they get along so well, they’ll be sleeping together now!
NIMCon Solo Ensemble
Northern Illinois Music Conference
Thankfully it wasn’t too far to Highland Park Middle School—and they looked pretty alert for 8am.
Between performances we just hung around the library/cafeteria area with Lucas’ parents. It’s a really nice school.
Owen’s big ensemble did The Entertainer and it was really good!
After the performance, the judge gives them a few tips and suggestions and has them practice some bars again to see the difference. It’s really neat.
Yes I’m really up and ready this early.
Owen has a band solo ensemble this morning—half an hour away plus he plays first at 8am and we’re supposed to be there 45 minutes prior. So my alarm went off at 5:30. I’m already looking forward to my nap this afternoon. 😂

Where there’s sun…
That’s not what a snuffle mat is for.
But it’s a fun game! No matter how hard they pull they can’t move it!
I hate mornings but this is my happy place.
Band concert at the high school
Can you spot Owen?
Why am I not surprised?
Owen couldn’t find the black shoes we bought him for band concerts so Tom went up to his room…and piled ALLLLL the dirty clothes on his bed to make searching easier. They still didn’t find them so who knows where they are.
Bewitched makeup with a friend!
Magic Spoon cereal? Meh.
We wanted to try it after seeing tons of ads for it—we were intrigued. So we finally forked over $10 for a box and…meh.
As you can see — the bag is only half full. And it was a smaller box to start. The taste was okay — it definitely didn’t taste like the sugar cereals of our youth like they claim. That said, it wasn’t bad…but I wouldn’t waste your money on this unless you really REALLY specifically needed this type of product and just couldn’t live without cereal.
Before school doggo cuddles
Happy National Margarita Day ’23
