Today is Emery’s first birthday. We celebrated by attending the cutest Detroit themed party at a local play place. Unfortunately the birthday girl was absent because she got sick 🙁
Lindsay had a blast playing with all of the kids and make believing. It was super sweet.
The best French patisserie around! Because Yates was temporarily out of donuts⁉️⁉️⁉️
Lots of exercise and fun today! 
Our sweet Sundae has been very sick for the past couple weeks, with Kidney failure. We were lucky enough to get fluids in her last week and she perked up a bit, but still not to her frisky-self. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to her and it was very difficult for our entire family. Sundae was very loved and will be missed greatly.
First time using the stove! Lindsay made a perfect grilled cheese. Yum yum yum. Growing up quickly lately.
We randomly took the kiddos out for a nice dinner Friday evening. Lindsay enjoyed most of an 8 ounce filet, followed by chocolate lava cake. It was such an enjoy evening after a week back to routine work and school. Both kids were so well behaved. We are raising super classy kids with good table manners and conversation. Chris and I are so proud of them.
Lindsay started 4th grade today! She’s in a job-share class this year, where her teachers split the week and responsibilities. She has a few friends in her classroom, but lots of kids she doesn’t know well so it should be a great way to make new friends. Linds was extremely excited to go back to school, especially wearing her new JoJo bow. Good luck, Lindsay!
