O vacuums, unlocking a new level of parenting. Belated Cinco de Mayo feast w/ friends - Quesabirra with homemade tortillas. Feeling the necessity to buy matching workout sets. O buys a Harry Potter wand with money he earned. Mark hosted a garden party that was - EPIC. A closes out his first year of part-time preschool. Road-trip to Reims! Bierstadt Festival with friends. Asher turned 4! Jamy’s for dinner, homemade ice cream cake + a house party. O first Soccer Tournament - 4th place!
