Fall 2025

This Halloween we had an astronaut, a bag of Cheetos and pirate-fairy cos-play!

Halloween 2025

The kids all did their own pumpkins this year, with very little help from Jamie and me.  This was the first year that Ben truly carved his own pumpkin all by himself, and I was pretty proud of his perseverance!

Guts and Glory
So focused

Maggie's grossed out face
Dance break - Maggie teaching me the Ophelia dance

One of Evie's besties came along for trick-or-treating

Grammer and Pops came by to pass out candy so
Jamie and I could walk around with the kids

Maggie went out with her pals

We went to an "outer space" themed party, so I was a
Shooting Star (who shot whiskey from a squirt gun) and
Jamie was a classic Jedi

Maggie joined the Robotics Team at her school and she's learning so much!  Turns out to be a really high-commitment activity, with 12-hour competition days... but she's been a trooper through it all.

Making some adjustments

It helps to have a bestie on her team

One event was near AA, so Jamie and Maggie 
 stopped by U of M on the way home at her request 

I'm not trying to brainwash her,
but she's totally drinking the Kool-Aid!

Some others:

Soccer besties

Sus

Ben at his fun run... the mouth never stops running

Celebrated my birthday at Clawson Steakhouse -
I love that place!

Singing me a self-written piece (perhaps we need
to get this kid some lessons)

Maggie and the muppet

Special birthday outing in Ann Arbor with my guy

Had to capture the girls almost-hugging

Evie singing on stage at her concert - she also played
the ukulele and the xylophone!

Went to see the Detroit tree after a Piston's game
to start getting into the Christmas spirit
