H is 18!

How could our cute smiley baby be an adult already? 😭 Here is a collection of photos from roughly every year of his life so far.

 

Nerd alert

H was selected as a candidate for the Presidential Scholar program.

He is also a National Merit Finalist. 🤓

Jazzercise

Geo has been playing drums in a jazz ensemble this past fall and had his final performance today.

Snoopy and Sherlock's big adventure

Snoopy and Sherlock rang in the new year  in Blackhawk. 

They love a good road trip, especially when there are snacks involved

Now they are curious about what's inside

Does this thing dispense fish?

Unfortunately, M and D ditched them to get sushi. 😂

Christmas cat

We spent Christmas Eve with Richard and his annoying cat, who bit M and is unrepentant.

Here are some gifts that we got this year that we really like.

Puffer coat Pusheen for M from H

Weird reading list

Halmoni recently sent us an old summer reading list that M put together before her senior year in high school, and it was pretty weird (lots of Greek tragedies). M thinks the boys have pretty weird reading habits themselves. Here is a list of the books she ordered for them in Amazon in 2025 (doesn't even include all the strange books they forced her to buy at the college bookstores they visited). Can you guess which boy ordered which book?
