 What a week!

We're feeling disappointed and worried about the election results. We're not sure what to expect in the next four years but we're trying to be as prepared as we can (Kelsey adopted the kids, we finished estate planning). But the kids were a great distraction this week!

There's a new cafe/meeting space that opened in Minneapolis this week for LGBTQ+ people - we went and met up with a bunch of friends and their kids. It was great!
Noah and Kelsey went to a "Won't You Be My Neighbor" event! Noah got to try on a Daniel Tiger sweater
And get in the imaginary castle!
And ride Trolley!
And meet Daniel! She was nervous but loved meeting him.

Oh, and Kim gave her another big haircut!


She wanted it even shorter but we talked her into waiting until next time

For the record, this is the haircut she requested. I never thought we'd be the kind of parents to say no to a haircut!

Toni reading to Luce and Mo!

Noah reading to Mo, it was very cute

A chain for how many days until Grandma Lori and Grandpa Tom get here!
