This is Bro. White as "The Man" - probably never thought he would go from being a Ute to a U-Dub guy (f.y.i. Dub is a cute, west coast, Washington sort of way to say "W" for University of Washington). Another total sign we are supposed to be here, since my life is guided by signs, signals, and sighs (o.k. trying to make a clear segway here, but not really working) but I was a Hillcrest High School husky and the U-Dub mascot is a Husky.
Makayla and Mia - Mia has one of the best, infectious, just funny and fun laughs!

Circle of Death
Friday we went to the Institutes quarterly opening social - the theme was school days. It was really cute. They played games like heads up 7 -up, rock, paper, scissors, had a spelling bee, played dodge ball etc. Madalyn won at rock, paper, scissors and got a gold star plus a pick of the $1 prizes, woohoo!!! Makayla took 1st on one of the rounds of the circle of death (tying balloons to your ankle - last one with a balloon wins). They also had sack lunches with notes from "mom" and "Dad" that read like this; "Darling, Have a great day at school and remember I want you to sign up for an institute class. Love, Mom" Depending on time, I'd like to have a get together with some friends (family if they were here), and mimic some of their ideas. Maybe it might be a good way to break up the winter break.
