You know those days/nights that’ll stick in your memory bank? This was one of those.

It started with a trip to the doctor’s office with what we thought was another ear infection. THANKFULLY the ear is perfectly healthy, so no antibiotics for Ali! 🙌 (those will destroy healthy gut microbes, y’all.) But we love our doc and were grateful for the visit with her, either way!

Next, tap class for Bel! They’re learning a new routine and it is SO CUTE. I can’t wait to see what the outcome will be in a few weeks. (Aaannnd if I’m being honest, I wish I was dancing with her! 😆👐#jazzhands) I need to just join the adult tap class, but I do better with new things like that when a friend comes with me. Any takers?

Then came the family fun!! BOWLING with our dear friends! You know when you’re having so much fun you forget to take pictures? That was us. Ali grabbed my phone and asked her friend to take this one…

We took a few other pictures and then it was time to head to the car.

In true childlike fashion, the girls decided that to be a perfect time to play tag resulting in a badly twisted ankle for Ali Jo. (This precious girl said “I’m sorry!” When she fell to the ground. Bless her heart! She was in so much pain and said “I’m sorry” to me. 😭 I scooped her up as fast as I could and told her she didn’t have anything to apologize for.)

Sooo… we load up in the car, get home, eat a quick dinner, and head up to bed.

Totally unprompted, Bel starts making a “things to do” desk for Ali. That way she doesn’t have to get out of bed without help in the morning. Seriously, this child blows me away with her thoughtfulness.

Goodness. They make us proud parents. Sometimes sisters will fight like enemies, and sometimes they’ll show love and care like the best of friends. We are so thankful they’re learning to do more of the latter, and our prayer is that that kindness grows and blossoms into something genuinely incredible to behold. We thank the Lord for these precious souls!

So that’s the memory making, bowling with a twist! A lot of fun and a little drama/excitement make for unforgettable times, right? ❤️
