Joshua and Sadee made ginger bread houses for a winter project at school. It was a bit messy, but a lot of fun! The twins were looking forward to this for weeks and asked every morning if it was the day I come to their school to make ginger bread houses. Daddy, little sister Morgan, and my parents, Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Earl, came to help construct a new ginger bread neighborhood. Please let us know if you are interested in viewing the listings and a walk-thru of their lovely homes.

We saw a wide range of artistic skill. The milk cartons start out glued to the plate and then the kids add the frosting and decorations. I think they are very creative. Checker pretzels make good windows, lollipops make mailboxes, and Chex cereals make fences. M&Ms were popular with most of the kids, both in architectural design and snack time! (Yes, the parents sneaked a few treats, too!)

It’s hard to believe that just five years ago we began here, the NICU of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. Fast forward to today and the twins are starting a new journey, Kindergarten at Greenwood Forest Elementary. They have waited for this day for 2 years. Michelle would drive past the school while going in and out of the neighborhood and the kids talked about that being “our school someday.” As new parents, we thought we had all the time in the world. We make a great effort to spend quality time with all 3 kids and record all of the milestones and fun activities. This is not just another milestone, limited time vacation, or bump in the road. This is the beginning of a multi-decade learning experience.

We know how smart and sweet Joshua and Sadee are with our family and close friends. Now it’s time for them to go out into the world and show everyone how wonderful and important they are to each other, new friends, teachers and everyone they meet!

This is one of those times we really want everyone to leave a comment. Please tell us your favorite memory of Josh and Sadee from the past five years.
