West Coast fun!

 

Isaac is really into drawing. This is an old photo of his beautiful Aunt Marlene.

Isaac is a fun chauffeur . . . scary, but fun.

Gracie's turn to suffer.

The whole crew

The kids found the train in San Francisco Airport INCREDIBLE. They're pretending to drive, of course.

Such sweet moments sometimes!

And now they are 8!

We had a wonderful pandemic birthday, unexpectedly Stateside with beloved family and friends! These kids were blessed/spoiled with THREE birthday parties: a small scavenger hunt one planned and hosted by Aunt Pam and Aunt Cynthia, a family only party hosted by my sister (at the house we brought the quints home to from the hospital and lived in for the first two years of their lives!), and a street party for our little neighborhood. The kids have had great little and big friends, and we have the sweetest neighbors.

Cinderella Gracie (even eating on the hearth like the princess she's dressed up as!)

Princess cousins! The theme was clearly blue and purple.

With the neighborhood friends. Such a fun place to live!

Piñata time! Gracie's turn.

Thankful for a great carport!

Each quint got to choose a small cake to serve.

With their wonderful big brother!
