Five Brown Kids

One of my favorite moments about this stage of kid raising is driving in the car with Scotia - to and from swim practice  or meets. She has great and lively taste in music and I love listening to her curated playlists. Lots of good memories driving along, listening to loud music, windows open….  Even better if Jaxon and Blythe are with us. 

Blythe and Tyrone went to see the Christmas Carol at DPAC. Tyrone said it was modernized with an inter-racial couple and plenty of Covid jokes. 

Taye’s best swim friend from high school invited Taye on his pre-Christmas family vacation to Florida. (We used to call Aileen Taye's second mom)  They stayed at a resort and chilled. Taye is a good friend and his friends are good back. 

Blythe talked Tyrone into planning a birthday party for school friends at one of those big party places. I’ve avoided those places with all the big kids - preferring smaller home parties with a few close friends.   I didn’t have to do anything but show up so no complaints really.  I loved at the end how all the kids got totally into a game of robot chase in this big cage thing and spent an extra 60 minutes at the end totally contained climbing around - completely focused on their game… 

High school basketball is in full swing.  The boys are all wearing warm ups with Messiah’s number…. To remember him. #play4messiah
