I went through my camera roll and decided to do a "Mid-Month Randoms" post with some of the pictures that were on the reel, and then realized that all of them focused on Sophia and James. I blame that on the fact that we just got done celebrating their birthday month ...
On the morning on her 13th brithday:
Sidenote: the weather was unseasonably warm. In fact, the next day (my birthday), the high reached 72 degrees which broke a record. Crazy!

The same weekend that we celebrated Sophia's birthday with friends, we had a "Family Party" to jointly celebrate both Sophia and Jimmy.
I made a cake for Sophia and she absolutely loved how it turned out. I kept it a secret on how I was planning to decorate it and it made it even more special for her.

Once a month, Jimmy comes home with an "extra credit math project." It is completely optional, but we like to do them anyway. The teacher gives the students plenty of time to complete them and we tend to add a little extra creativity to the project. For this particular assignment, Jimmy had to compare the distances of two planets from the sun and share a few random facts about them. He opted to use watercolors and the final project turned out awesome!
