All Decisions Are In...

We heard from the last two colleges on Quinn's list this weekend. While she found out she was waitlisted at UNC Chapel Hill, she was admitted and accepted at NC State!

Quinn was obviously disappointed by being waitlisted at UNC, but it did not overshadow the joy of being accepted at an equally amazing school, NC State.  

No final decisions have been made and there are lots of things to consider, but we might, just might, have a future Wolfpack in the house!

Quinn has everything in the world to be proud of - getting 6 "yeses" and 1 "maybe" from some pretty amazing universities is pretty darn impressive.

3, 4 and 5…

Quinn has managed to keep the streak alive.  College three, four and five responded to her recently, and all three were a ‘yes’.

UNC Charlotte

UNC Wilmington

Purdue University 

Purdue accepted Quinn into the College of Pharmacy which is a huge honor to say the least. 

Time will tell (sooner rather than later) where Quinn will end up next fall. Will she be a Boilermaker, a Seahawk, or a Forty Niner? Perhaps yes, perhaps maybe not. 

Don’t think the irony is lost on me that two of these pictures were taken with a rival university sweatshirt on!! Is that telling? Or coincidence? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Holy Moly...

Sulla Grace decided to go and put a couple of new holes in her head last week...

She has wanted a double piercing for some time now, and was gifted the opportunity as a Christmas present.  

She said it didn't hurt a bit and is already plotting and scheming for her next set of holes in her ears.  Time will tell if a new addiction is forming.

One Last College Visit...

Despite having already applied to NC State, we took an official tour today.  

Decision day comes out in a couple weeks, but Quinn wanted to check out the campus and see what she thought of it.  It got the nod of approval from Quinn, as well as all the rest of us.  So that begs the question...Do we have a future Wolfpack?!  I guess time will tell.

I *think* this tour concludes our college visits, at least for a couple of years until Sullivan starts to look!

Odds 'n Ends from SD...

I failed to capture all the great times we had in SD, and they were plentiful.  Here are a few things that were captured however...

The cousins did some rock climbing one afternoon...

Ryan soaking in some time with the littles...

Plenty of puzzles were completed...

A frozen yogurt reward was redeemed for meeting a book reading challenge...

And a couple of the cousins were twinning...

Go Yotes!

Again, there wasn't pictures of all the amazing meals, laughs shared, movies viewed, shopping had, and more, but all of those are memories made and cherished.  And with that... Christmas 2023 is a wrap!
