Piper is almost a year old. Such a happy little thing!

 

Drew, Hayley, and Lainey had their first family outing today!

 Lainey had a good nights sleep last night for the first night. Mommy and day are exhausted. Today they hired house cleaners to clean their house and went for a family outing. They went to lunch and then went for a stroll in the park with baby and pups! Look at Lainey and Drew sleeping. They look the same, lol!

My kids made this gif

 We always have the craziest family group texts going with me, Keith, and all the kids and their spouses.That’s how we communicate big events like Thanksgiving, Christmas, graduation’s, babies being born… in the latest family text I posted the picture of Piper eating spaghettios. 

Then all the jokes started. Tyler said she looks like the Harry Carrie skit from Saturday Night Live and posted this.

Then Alex made this gif and posted it!🤣😂🤣

So very proud of Ellie! She graduated summa cum laude!

 Ellie graduated today! She majored in film and digital media and minored in Japanese! She graduated summa cum laude (with highest honors). Her GPA WAS 3.96. She gets her brains from me, 😂🤣😂! Obviously NOT!!! We are so very proud of her for following her heart! We support our kids and encourage each of them to follow their hearts, their bliss, their passion. The heart will never stear you wrong!!!

Drew and Hayley got home with precious Lainey!

 They are exhausted and not sleeping at night, but that all goes with the territory, lol! The sweet siblings came up with a meal train and are bringing a meal for a chance to hold their precious baby!😉😂

Alex and Leah had the first night. Leah had to work, but she works with babies at the hospital so has seen little Lainey more than most of us and put in a special word with the staff for special treatment!😉 She and Alex sent not just a meal, but things they realized you can’t live without for a newborn. So thoughtful!

Emily and Tyler are next up but Tyler has to get over his cold before they bring a meal…

Ellie and Emma will go Thursday!

No sleep and running on empty, parents are plugging through! Thankfully, because Haley had a c-section, she gets 4 months off work instead of 3!

Decorated Scott’s house for Christmas…

This year with Alex and Leah and babies moving into downstairs of Lane Creek house and girls /company have space upstairs, we didn’t do Christmas decorations this year. We went overboard decorating Scott’s house! Keith and the kids will come here Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Then we’ll go to my sister, Dawn and Jim’s house in Lake Arrowhead, for Christmas Day. 

Added a few things

Keith and I got to hold Lainey today!!!

 So very thankful little Lainey is doing better!
