Now and Then

It amazes me how Google Photo can tell the boys apart accurately, AND track their (supposedly identical) faces over time.  Face recognition technology is impressive!!  This was Google Photos "Now and Then" photo of Colby - from 2012 and 2018!  They got it right...

The Music Studio

Colby got a new MIDI for his birthday, and Rob moved his home office from upstairs to downstairs, which means that the little room off the boys' bedroom was available for their dream MUSIC STUDIO.  Which they've been wanting to have in there forever, but the stars aligned just right so that it ACTUALLY HAPPENED!  They are thrilled with their studio, and have spent endless hours in there writing and mixing song after song after song.  They're getting good, these boys!  I'm impressed with what they come up with!!

His New Hangout

As I was parking the car in the driveway, I happened to look up (which I obviously hadn't done in awhile).

Mom: "Colby, why is there a towel on the peak of the garage?"
Colby: no answer
Mom: "Colby, why is there a BED on the roof?????"
Colby: sly smile.

Apparently, this is where he's been spending his free time lately.

I THOUGHT Colby was being awfully quiet upstairs lately!

The Birthday Cake

The boys decided that they wanted an ice-cream cake this year for their birthday, and I aim to deliver (no baking in summer!  YAY!).  Quinn's on a camping trip with Dad, so Colby was in charge of picking things out.  For wording, he decided on "Happy Birthday, Colby and Other".  Uhhhhh.  HMMMMM.  I pointed out to him that it was MY birthday, too, and so he modified the order to read "Happy Birthday, Colby and Others".

Thanks.
