Day 307
June 17, 2017
Saying goodbye is never easy but especially for these four who have been together on and off over the years since they were 5,3 and 2.
Day 304
June 14, 2017
Speaking of Ramadan- always makes us feel a little stir crazy and trapped inside!!
Day 303
June 13, 2017
Lazy, slow Ramadan days means lots of cards, Settlers of Catan and henna for Maddie. Sister bonding time...
Day 301
June 11, 2017
We all benefit from Maddie's summer boredom. This week it's been homemade apple AND cherry pie. Yummy!
Day 300
June 10, 2017
We finally got the older girls birthday presents (from last year). Maddie got hers first since it was almost a year late. So not good at gift giving around here!!
Day 299
June 9, 2017
Cat-sitting for some friends. Teddy was none to happy with Abbey for trying to make him come back inside...

Because sometimes the one who likes to jump out and scare people, deserves to have the you know what scared out of her...

Day 297
June 7, 2017
Some friends traveled to Paris today for vacation and since I am very much in old pics=therapy mode as well as cleaning out before leaving for the summer, I came across these old gems from our very first days overseas in France when Abbey and Maddie were 3 and almost 2.
First pain au chocolat...
First crepes in the latin quarter...
Cutest little tour guide in Paris...
Day 296
June 6, 2017
Anabelle's graduation from kindergarten day! Apparently this is a big thing now? Jason was traveling and the rest of us were kind of a comedy of errors as far as getting pictures/videos... My phone died, then Abbey's phone died, then Maddie, with the only phone left of the bunch to take pics got up and went to the bathroom for the grand finale- the actual cap and gown part of the ceremony. So our pictures are a little bit pitiful.
Who knew that along with wearing a cap and gown and receiving her kindergarten diploma (I'm sorry but I am kind of rolling my eyes a little at this one!), she would also have three other costume changes and corresponding dances including...
this costume...
(that went along with a song about hello from all the children of the world)
This one that involved lots of hand motions and i'm really not sure what else...
(oh and a not pictured African safari dance of some sort)
This costume where we were treated to the kindergarten class doing the tango... Yes, that is my 6 year old with her hand in the air and hip jutted out to the side...
And finally a very blurry cap and gown picture...
At the end they had them out of the cap and gowns so quick that we didn't even get a close up!
All in all, quite the entertaining afternoon!

Day 293
June 3, 2017
Naomi's school is a preparatory school for the IB program which means that during elementary they work on a pretty big project throughout the second semester that they present at the end of the year as part of an exhibition that they've worked on in groups with a mentor over the course of the semester.
Naomi and her group talked about how we express ourselves through different forms of art. They did a great job!
Day 292
June 2, 2017
One last family movie night with good friends "before everything changes forever" (in other words graduates and seniors head back to the states). And movie night is not complete without piling in the car and driving around like ninjas to collect Friday papers for the dog's litter box (don't ask)...
Day 291
June 1, 2017
Last day of school for Maddie! Man, we are really staggering out these last days of school. Naomi and AB still going for another few days at least (we never know for sure!). And what better way to celebrate than letting your sister throw grapes at your face?
Day 290
May 31, 2017
Goodbyes are just hard. There's no way around it. And senior year goodbyes are super hard especially when you live overseas and are going a little farther away from friends and family than a 3 hour drive...
And what better solution for hard goodbyes than lots and lots of expensive (at least expensive here) sugar...
Day 289
May 30, 2017
And somehow I've found going through old pics to be therapeutic! Cutest little soccer player ever!

Day 288
May 29, 2017
Mom and her graduate... The day after because that's when I changed my profile pic and that's gonna have to count since I took enough pictures at graduation to last a few days...
Day 285
May 26, 2017
Abbey returned from her senior trip just in time for the last baseball game of the season. 5 years of camels in the outfield coming to an end today for our senior...
AND, many thanks to our dear friend, who also happens to be the coach... I texted him mid-inning and asked if he would please position all 4 of our kids (who have played together all 5 years) in the infield in such a way so that I could get a picture. He did and I am certain it's just because of my text...
Day 284
May 25, 2017
When Maddie gets bored and wants to bake, everybody wins... Today she decided to experiment with monkey bread- oh so yummy!
Friday, June 9, 2017
Day 281
May 22, 2017
Going through old stuff I realized I keep WAY TOO MUCH!! But I did come across this little treasure...
Day 280
May 21, 2017
Abbey left on senior trip today which flashed me back to this craziness... Leaving on my senior trip and driving 10 hours to the beach- no cell phones, no nothin!
This one went on an airplane with chaperones....
Day 279
May 20, 2017
About a week and a half late but we finally had AB's My Little Pony birthday party...
