Remodel update

The laundry room is basically done. The master bath needs the shower hardware installed and some vanity parts. The end is in sight!

A very Buc-ee's Christmas

M's birthday/Christmas present from D (other than the fancy new washer/dryer all-in-one combo for the new laundry room) was a trip to Buc-ee's, her favorite place on earth other than Ikea and the Container Store. Here are some pictures of her loot:

Drum recital

Geo did great as usual, this time playing to Girl from Ipanema. He gravitates toward the classics while the other kids favor modern songs. Probably D's old-fashioned taste has rubbed off on him. Both Snoopy and Sherlock made appearances.

Winter concert

Geo played two concerts with his school orchestras on Monday. He plays in the all-district orchestra concert in January and has a busy concert schedule in the spring. Not to mention his drum recital on Friday.

FRYS Fall Concert

Geo looks like a waiter but is in concert garb. He looked particularly dapper in his father's hat.

Look ma, no braces!

They came off today thanks to Geo's diligence in wearing his rubber bands.

Now he just needs a haircut to complete his fall break makeover.

Fall is in the air

That means the animals are wearing hoodies and scarves and playing with pumpkins.

Oh, and the humans are having concerts.

(Geo trying not to laugh when seeing me dab on him.)
