3rd Grade Concert
Kenzie is in the far back on the left, behind the squirrely kid.
Kenzie had a speaking part, which she took very seriously. Of course!
San Fran for 1
I went to San Francisco for work. Cindy met me down there. I had to work all weekend, but Cindy took the liberty of texting me pictures of fun on the pier! Not complaining though…it was snowing back home.
Victoria
We spent a weekend in Victoria with Casey, Liz and the boys. It probably wasn’t the best timing, given that it was February and there was snow on the ground, but the kids had fun. The pool and the bug zoo with cockroaches were the highlights. I do believe that we could have accomplished the same benefits with the Day’s Inn in Fife. Let’s just say that we’re looking forward to Hawaii in a few months!
Kenzie brought her friend Emilie. The girls got along great. Both Kenzie and Mason are becoming good swimmers…just in time for Hawaii! Oh, did I mention that already?
Kenzie loved all the crawly creatures. Mason eventually warmed up to them. I even held a tarantula and scorpion. Eek.
This is the millipede unibrow. Gross
Meet the author
A former coworker of Cindy’s, Theresa Bateman, is an author and visited Kenzie’s school. She has published over 20 books, and, as Kenzie reminded her, had over 900 rejections.

Three
No school for the kids this week so we stayed up a little late and went to Cindy’s game. I took my camera out for one shot, and captured a three pointer!

Tooth fairy…where are my teeth
Kenzie spent two nights at Grammy and Grampy’s. I then get a series of text messages (from Kenzie on Grampy’s iPad). I didn’t get her first text in a sufficiently timely manner (I was at a dinner party) and came back to:
Kenzie: ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kenzie: ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kenzie: Please?
Me: I’m at dinner. Can it wait?
Kenzie: Where is my baby teeth? Flushed, I hope. Grammy told me!!!
Kenzie: Where are MY BABY TEETH?????
Kenzie: Can you please tell me where they are?
So, you might wonder the background on this story, a did I. Kenzie came across the note that she had written the Tooth Fairy when she lost a tooth at G&G’s house. She asked Grammy why it was still there, and Grammy started dancing. “Well, maybe the Tooth Fairy knew that I would enjoy it.” Kenzie questioned, and soon Grammy caved. In all fairness, waterboarding would not fall far outside of Kenzie’s tool set, so I’m sure it wasn’t an easy session for Grammy. Once Kenzie had her definitive answer, she immediately wanted to know the full details of the conspiracy, including what we had done with her baby teeth. (I’m pretty sure I had made up a good story when asked what the Tooth Fairy did with all the teeth. I mean, it’s a logical question…why a fairy and why does she need all those kids teeth? It’s actually kind-of gross. So, I think I convinced a younger Kenzie that she repurposed the teeth into siding for her castle or something.)
Anyway, I’m richer for it – Kenzie knows, as soon as you stop believing in her, she stops coming!
