It's true

There are far more photos of Sophie than her sibling this year - but she is still living at home! 

We love you, Sebba!!

How Sophie's school days go

 

Sophie and her main partner in crime!

The running genes don't come from the maternal side but we get to claim the sports gear nevertheless!

Attacking the advent calendar

 

Lucky us, a Sophie round-up

When she chooses long green nails but rolls her eyes at us!!

Adoration 101

A different sort of adoration (that she has imparted to her bestie)

Still willing to "sleep over" sometimes

a look that belongs in the Matrix, perhaps

 

So many birthdays!! 2022 v3

 We celebrated 16!! with Sophie's uncles who came with gems and a pocketknife - and sparklers (there must be sparklers!!)

Opening her requested denim overalls

In October

Sophie ran and ran and advanced one level in the run-offs. Yay, galpal!!

Dad was there to cheer her on (and our immediate neighbour Lindsay who coaches at another high school)

OK, this was actually September...

Pals convened for some fun and dinner!

So many birthdays!! 2022 v2

Since this child was home, I was treated to a homemade cake - except Seb started at 9 pm - without all the ingredients! 🤣

There were plenty of hugs. Lucky lucky Mum!!

 

So many birthdays!! 2022 v1

 It’s that time of year, folks. So let’s do a whistle stop of celebrants. First is our much loved Sebba

And yes, THIS happened. And it's a beauty.

Oh and since Seb turned 19,  it was time to hit a bar -- legally. Fun was had and a phone was left behind... The tracking software worked but the bar didn't open again until the next gig happened - 3 days later!!! 

All ended well

Fit

 As in, check out their "fit"

Hallowe'en & an annual tradition

When you ask 2 teens to put up the spiderwebby stuff, you seem to get a snowstorm effect. 🤣🤣🤣

Seb's posse of looks

Pals convened for some fun and dinner!

Soph decided to be a buccaneer for Hallowe'en

Always fun to check out our neighbours' much more creative and better executed carvings!
