Billy has braces! At least on the top teeth. So, we officially have 3 kids in glasses and 3 kids in braces. Can you say ... awkward stage? We need to start taking more embarrassing photos to show at the graduations and weddings....
Jimmy finally decided to color his hair back to black. (Back in Black!!) Mainly due to the upcoming semi-dance for 9th graders. He's taking Mary (same last name as us) after a bit of confaluted 9th grade antics (breaking up with Lauren, thinking about asking Lauren, going on a double date with Miles and Mary - who get together and break up frequently- only to have Jimmy ask Mary and Miles ask Lauren. After which Lauren dumps Miles to go with AJ - same kid she dumped Jimmy for... got it?! right.) We colored his hair and he got a stylin' new cut. He does look smart, now I just need to figure out how to get a secret photo of it. More to come ... (at least he doesnt look like a K Pop star anymore)
Laura and Pete were in town for Ben & Alex's basketball league (they play 11th grade midwest league which travels all over for play, Iowa, Texas, Indiana, MN, Wisconsin, etc). She's my BFF from high school and its always fun to get to get together even though we dont do it very often. We had pizza and caught up and then the selfie. No, no one is standing on stools. No, no one is sitting down. This photo is an accurate depiction of size, hence why Kay didnt want to be in it. Laura's boys (twins) are 6'9", her husband Pete is 6' 10" - Context, they are 2 ft taller than Billy and Kay. Even Jimmy said ... wow, I dont normally feel short ....
