2023, September 11-17

Another week has gone by. We stayed close to home as the week's activities unfolded. Kai came back, and both kids advanced in taekwondo. 

Eliza continues to enjoy learning new ukulele skills. She's been practicing the song Lava from the Disney cartoon. 


Hallie got her new sunglasses and glasses this week. She hopes to get used to this prescription more quickly than the last. She is not a fan of progressive lenses. Well, she is not a fan of wearing glasses in general.


Hello, happy people! Hallie had been texting Diamond earlier and thought it would be fun to send her a group selfie.


Here is a fancy meal someone ate. It is not as fancy as Mike was led to believe by the picture. The back story is Hallie's mom and dad had seen the chef for the Nephi hospital on TV. For a while Marilyn has been wanting to go and try a meal there. Why not when Hallie has to go pick up meds? Today's entree was carne asada fries.
 

Here are Hallie's new glasses. 
 

We had some nice evening weather on Thursday and spent time out front eating peach ice cream that Marilyn had made. Landon said, "Why didn't I try this sooner? It is yummy!"


Landon showed off his fruit ninja skills with apples Hallie and Eliza had picked earlier in the week at the orchard next to BUH. 


Kai came back on Friday. We think he's happy to be here. Lots of happy whines, tail wagging, and pants. 


Hallie treated him to a puppuccino at Dutch Bros. 


He's probably weirded out by all the attention, but you can never tell with a dog. 


The kids at Yates Place learned about cloud types in their science class. 



Hallie and Mike did some garage organizing over the weekend. Fergus thought he should help out. 


For whatever reason, we're not sure if these creations of Eliza's ever got scanned, so we're posting them here for posterity. 







Eliza and Dad rode bike and scooter while Kai trotted along to the Civic Center Park so they could participate in the Springville Arts Festival on Saturday. They painted rocks, made prints, and judged sidewalk chalk drawings. 




Eliza and Mom got some yard sale finds in the afternoon. 


In the evening, Fergus kept Hallie company as she waited to pick up Landon from a get together he had with friends. Earlier in the day, he and a friend made a custom flower arrangement for Ais. 


Sunday morning, Eliza joined Mike downstairs in the morning and then fell back to sleep cozied up to dear ol' Dad.
 

Our week ended with talking to Mike's parents and our Sunday Social. Hallie's friend Amanda joined us for the first time. We love getting to chat with our neighbors.
