Eston and Hannah Tennessee Reception

My little (big) brother, Eston, got married this summer! All I can think is what? Where has the time gone? I am happy it has gone to this stage of his life. His beautiful bride, and my new sister (!!!!!) Hannah had a lovely reception in Tennessee a week before their wedding in Kansas City, MO. They are living in Hawaii, so it made sense to make their way back home from the most easterly spot. I was only one from my little Plothow family to go down for the reception. Grateful for those who helped me make it happen. I got to see a lot of family (especially cousins) I do not get to see that often. I loved catching up with all of them, and my favorite (and only) niece, Ruby! She calls me Aunt Mommy, and I absolutely love it!! Best part meeting my lovely new sister, Hannah, and her family. Eston picked the best one out there. Hannah, I love you! And Eston, I guess I love you too, haha. Eston is my sibling twin as you will see from the photos below. In Eston Dunn fashion it was a party. Bluegrass band, cake buffet, dancing, it was a good time. 

I love that Eston is holding the bouquet in the photo. He is a real man.

The new and improved American Gothic. 
This photo is my favorite! I absolutely adore it. So dreamy and romantic. 




We are family! All with big personalities, lol.
Eston and his sisters! We love you so much. 

Me and my best friends. I am lucky I get to call them sisters too. 







I love us. 
Sibling twins. 
Actual twins.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
