										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just wanted to write a little update on my girlies. Thankfully, everyone has been doing well and getting back into routine. The big girls are in school again and loving it. I mean, they really do love it. When we were moving here, school is what gave me the most anxiety and our first <del datetime="2013-03-10T10:03:00+00:00">daycare </del>school was such a disaster, but this school has been such a blessing to us! Both girls love their teachers, have great friends and are learning a ton! What more could we ask for?<br />
Oh, and Kead has several loose teeth/ teeth growing in! Did you even know that could happen?? It is so bizarre- the grown up teeth are growing in behind the baby teeth, but the baby teeth haven&#8217;t fallen out yet. So weird! Uncle/Dentist Adam says its pretty common and not to pull the baby teeth if they aren&#8217;t ready&#8230;but I am a teensy bit sad to not have the classic toothless smile pic. :)</p>

She is just getting so big.</p>
<p>Sayla is also doing great and (I assume) all is well in her own world. We sit outside her door and listen to her from time to time; talking to herself, talking to her stuffed animals, singing, talking to Sonny and Bunny (fully Sayla&#8217;s friends now)&#8230;she makes us giggle so much and I love her spirit. She also came home with a near perfect report card. We were wondering how so much time in &#8220;La La Land&#8221; was affecting her at school, but she is doing great there too!<br />

<p>The big girls have also re-started ballet class and are having a great time. And I just love the little ruffles and buns and ballet shoes. I think I take a picture of them every time before they go to class because I just never get over the cuteness!<br />

<p>Evie is starting to talk a ton and that is so much fun. She turned two in January and we had a really really simple party here. (We had a <a href="http://kojo-designs.com/2013/01/farmers-market-birthday-party/">big party</a> in denver).  I am just loving this stage of life with her! While Drew is at work and the bigs are at school, we get to hang out together and I cherish it. She is so spunky and funny and such a joy.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if it is a middle child thing, or maybe the fact that her birthday is also the beginning of school, or just a time when we are super busy, but Sayla&#8217;s birthday hasn&#8217;t always been a huge deal. If it weren&#8217;t for Granny, there are two years that we would have done nothing at all. Not that she has complained; Sayla has such a sweet demeanor and outlook on life that I could easily get by with store bought cupcakes or a trip to get ice cream every year. But, we make a huge deal out of the other girls birthdays, so I really wanted to do something special for Sayla. (Maybe that is the middle child in me coming out. haha!)</p>
<p>This year we had a whole week of Sayla celebration. First we went to Dubai with the McGoughs and Traci and had a fabulous Sayla-planned-day! We started by letting the girls go to Smaland at IKEA&#8230;by request of the birthday girl, of course. After their hour was up we took them to the next surprise: Build-a-Bear! Every time we pass the store, both girls beg to go in, but we have always said no (going in somewhere like Build-a-Bear and coming out empty handed sounds like torture with three little girls). <a href='http://www.wienerkavalier.com/5zg2g4e0e4/'>nomini kaszinó online</a>  Well, I found some coupons for buy-one-get-one bears so we decided to let the girls do it (And Chase and Britt got a bear for Lydia too)!</p>
<p>At first they were super concerned with the deflated bears we let them choose from, but quickly got excited about the whole filling process!<br />

As soon as the girls caught on, it was hard keeping up with them. And, let me just say, those build-a-bear people sure do know their market! The outfits? and bear dress-up area? and panties? and accessories? and jammies? for a bear? We had a near melt down as we were taking accessories and such off of Keadryn&#8217;s bear and (after realizing the outfit she assembled was well over $50) we had to say no to several things but each girl walk away with one outfit and one pair of shoes (Except Evie, who didn&#8217;t really think much of the clothes and wanted her bear without- which was fine with us!) and they were all happy.<br />
<a href="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201250.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-641" title="blog 201250" src="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201250-1024x409.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="409" srcset="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201250-1024x409.jpg 1024w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201250-300x120.jpg 300w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201250.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><br />
The next stop on our &#8220;Day-for-Sayla&#8221; was the Rainforest Cafe (also per Sayla&#8217;s request and with a coupon) and I can&#8217;t believe it, but I didn&#8217;t take a single picture. I seriously have no idea why? It was so fun and the girls had a blast (Although Keadryn did admit she thought we were going to eat in a real rainforest). It really was a great day!</p>
<p>Oh, and once we got home we made these crowns for Angelina and Princess Sparkle (as oppose to buying the $12 crowns at the store) and both girls we so happy with them:<br />
<a href="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201252.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-643" title="blog 201252" src="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201252-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="768" srcset="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201252-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201252-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201252.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p>
<p>But the partying didn&#8217;t stop there! A couple days later was Sayla&#8217;s actual birthday. All she wanted for her birthday was shoes (with a heel), earrings, hair clips, nail polish, etc. <a href='https://casatorrasa.com/945r5o14xs/'>kaszinó online huf</a>  Seriously, she didn&#8217;t ask for a single toy! I&#8217;m in so much trouble with this one.<br />
<a href="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201251.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-642" title="blog 201251" src="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201251-1024x512.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201251-1024x512.jpg 1024w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201251-300x150.jpg 300w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/blog-201251.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><br />
She is in love with her &#8220;clunky shoes&#8221; and asks to wear them everywhere. Since they are 2 sizes too big (I could only find a heel in the bigger kid shoes) I have to limit wearing them in public, but she wears them around the house all the time and on her birthday I let her wear them to the grocery store. <a href='https://oilandgas.ccmplatform.com/qlezo73un/'>újonnan nyitott kaszinó online</a>  Big deal.</p>
<p>THEN the day after her birthday we had her Puppy Party! I have to say, as far as pleasing the kids goes, this is my best party yet! They were so excited about every detail, were counting down the minutes until guests arrived and are <em>still</em> talking about it. It makes my heart so happy to see them love something that I put a lot of time into.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A pair of my sunglasses broke (which is why I never spend more than  on sunglasses&#8230; <a href='https://wp-staging-flex.cfserver3.net/7pq5lk44xi/'>ivermectin need prescrioption</a> ) and the girls got quite a kick out of playing with the frames. <a href='https://quechilerogt.com/example/g6ahq4mnclz/'>merck ivermectin case</a>  I asked Sayla for some pictures in the glasses but she is not interested in being my model right now. Keadryn, on the other hand is a total ham and was happy to do a photo shoot. <a href='http://kunaldev.webprojectdemos.com/ayacenter/ovqtaji/'>ivermectin bottom paint</a>  Eventually, Sayla wanted to join the fun&#8230;and these just make me laugh.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Keadryn and Sayla started Ms. Brittany&#8217;s ballet class. They have been looking forward to it for a year and it did not disappoint. They LOVE it and I think they are the cutest ballerinas I have ever seen. Can&#8217;t wait for the recital!<br />
<a href="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0415.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-315" title="IMG_0415" src="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0415-682x1024.jpg" alt="" width="429" height="643" /></a></p>
<p>2. Keadryn and Sayla also started going to a local preschool. The goal of them attending is to start hearing Arabic and learning to communicate. It&#8217;s not going great. The TV is on the whole time they are there (with English programming) and Keadryn hates it. She cries the whole time, which is totally not her regular personality, and says she can&#8217;t make friends until she learns some Arabic. I try to explain she won&#8217;t know Arabic until she makes friends, but that doesn&#8217;t seem to translate into 4 year old. We are optimistic that she will get settled soon. Just be praying that she can make at least one friend. Sayla is liking it and doesn&#8217;t seem to notice that no one speaks English. (Also,  I love this picture of them on their first day- mainly because several locals have mentioned to me how I need to dress them in warmer clothes for the &#8220;cold winter&#8221;. It was 85 degrees on this day, but I didn&#8217;t want their teachers to think I&#8217;m a horrible mom. haha)<br />
<a href="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0399.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-316" title="IMG_0399" src="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0399-682x1024.jpg" alt="" width="442" height="663" srcset="http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0399-682x1024.jpg 682w, http://www.theremkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0399-199x300.jpg 199w" sizes="(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px" /></a></p>
<p>3. Speaking of life here, we all LOVE the food. Eating out here is amazingly inexpensive (much cheaper than cooking) and so we have got to try several restraunts. Kead&#8217;s fav is the hummus and Sayla loves the chicken. Anyone have amazing eggplant recipes I need to try? They are in such abundance and I love the way they taste- but don&#8217;t know how to cook them!<br />

<p>4. We are feeling more settled in everyday. I promise there will be a &#8220;house tour&#8221; soon. As soon as Drew hangs up all the frames, decor, etc. Walls here are concrete so hanging a picture becomes a much bigger task than tapping in a couple nails. For now, here is a picture of our living room with our humble Christmas tree.<br />

<p>5. There&#8217;s more, but I&#8217;ve been working on this post for a week so I am going to post it before I am adding Keadryn&#8217;s Sweet Sixteen party to the end. Merry week-of-Christmas everyone! I hope that you are enjoying family, and cooler weather and all things winter in our stead!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kirstin was down to visit for a couple days and we had such a wonderful time! We hung out, we held babies, she got to bond with the older two girls while I got a ton of rest, she cleaned and was such a blessing to us! The couple days of having her here made me so thankful for sisters and for the blessing these girls will get to be to each other. (speaking of blessings, keje is coming in a couple of weeks too! whoohoo!)<br />
