Team McPherson: August 2015
http://teammcpherson.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 29, 2015. Soras To Do List. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Today was Sora's first day of school! She had a 1.5 hr orientation yesterday, but today was her official first day. This year, I am working in the after school care at Sora's school. I'll be working 8-3:30, which means I can bring Sora to school and pick her up every day. We are both excited about this change. Sunday, August 16, 2015. The whole watermelon plant (which we're hoping will produce a LOT of watermelon):. Even though I've...

4 Ring Circus: And then we got a dog.
http://fourringcircus.blogspot.com/2013/11/and-then-we-got-dog.html
Welcome to our corner. Saturday, November 23, 2013. And then we got a dog. We've been thinking about a dog for a while now. About 5 years really. It was Christmas and Charlie was 2 and he was opening a small box that held Mac the Truck from Cars. I hear him whisper "please be a dog". That's when the conversation first started. We thought we should maybe go out to lunch and talk about Trapper before committing to adopting her. As we're trying to make a plan another couple comes up and starts asking Tr...

4 Ring Circus: Bloomsday with my family.
http://fourringcircus.blogspot.com/2014/05/bloomsday-with-my-family.html
Welcome to our corner. Monday, May 5, 2014. Bloomsday with my family. This year, for the first time, the whole family came out for Bloomsday. I usually run it and Matt stays home with the kids. I pushed Charlie in a stroller once (which is why he's wearing a 2007 shirt below) but other than that it was everyone's first time. All together in line, ready to start. Matt and Crazy waiting for the race to start. Giving me some more crazy faces. Annie being darling along the course. Happy to be done! That is h...

Team McPherson: January 2015
http://teammcpherson.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. The first week I realized these lessons are totally hockey focused (and we agreed to 12 weeks) but luckily I've convinced Sora that being able to play hockey will help her on her way to becoming a great figure skater. I also tower her next year after she knows the basics she can take figure skating lessons instead. Saturday, January 17, 2015. Sora took a lot of reading breaks, of course. This means each day she wrote 25 of a specific number in 1 minute. She only has 2 more l...

Team McPherson: December 2014
http://teammcpherson.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. We have had a super busy week, but as usual we've been too busy living to take too many photos. Sora had a lot of fun being a camper at Winter Camp. She's a master photo evader though so of all 40 kids there, she was photographed the least. Here she is starting to build an ice castle. Since there wasn't any snow up at camp, we drove 10 minutes up to the pass to see a little snow. After lunch, we made our traditional solstice cupcakes. We didn't have milk or eggs so we baked...

Team McPherson: Moving Up
http://teammcpherson.blogspot.com/2015/06/moving-up.html
Thursday, June 11, 2015. Sora's last day of school was Wednesday. For some reason, the power went out as soon as we dropped her off and was still out when we picked her up. It's a good thing it was only a half day! After school, there was a picnic on the playground followed by a short moving up ceremony for all of the kindergarteners. Sora loved her teacher, of course. She is also moving on after a very long time at the school. She has lived in town her whole life and is moving to the beach! Sora Grey- C...

Team McPherson: November 2014
http://teammcpherson.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 29, 2014. As a kid, I always loved roller skating. I've been wanting to take Sora for a while now but we've never had a chance. With my parents in town and Kyle up at camp working this weekend, I decided this would be the perfect opportunity. Sora fell a lot. Especially at the beginning. Not because she couldn't skate, but because she was being crazy. Every time a song came on that she liked, she tried to dance skate which was both hilarious and also not very effective. This was the fi...

Team McPherson: Impressive Lineage
http://teammcpherson.blogspot.com/2015/08/impressive-lineage.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Sora and I went north to visit my parents for an extended weekend. On the way, we stopped to enjoy the gorgeous view of Mt. Rainier. We also stopped to visit my uncle, aunt and cousin at a park for a playdate. We were too busy for pictures, of course. Sora loves my parents house: they have more toys than she does, a horse to ride, and a puppy to play with! We got to enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride before our BBQ lunch. While at grandma's, Sora also got to climb through the doggy...
