Hi all-
It has been a pretty chill weekend: cousin time after Lucy & Mila’s dance recital, pretty early morning runs and porch yoga (with a visitor) and a porch dinner and playtime.
Have a great week! It’s the last week of the school year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well…TGIF and I totally missed Timehop Tuesday this week. Here are the pics!
A day off:
Gerbil kisses:
And a sister date:
Have a lovely weekend! One. More. Week. Until. Summer.
Happy Memorial Day!
We had a nice weekend and continue to enjoy the summer weather. Hopefully maybe now it is here to stay!
Some scenes from an early morning long run:
Some relaxing (and a failed gerbil reconciliation, but we had gloves this time!):
A deck dinner, including Alex’s mom and sister:
And my one picture from today, my upside down view from a forward fold doing yoga on the porch:
Have a great week!
Hi all! TGIF!!
We had a busy week, where we enjoyed the outdoors, saw cousins, and got our piano tuned for the first time in over a decade!
Our piano is from my Grandma Henderson. The piano tuner was able to tell me it was made 1946! She taught piano lessons on it and I remember playing it whenever we would go to their house in Eau Claire. I’m so excited to get back into playing and even signed up for some piano lessons this summer to brush up my skills!
Have a great Memorial Day weekend. I’ll be back Monday night for the wrap-up.
Hi all!
It was a busy weekend! Yesterday I had my 10K race. It went well, all things considered. It was warm! My goal was to finish in under 1:15 and I did it in 1:12.
Thanks to my mom, Pa and Max, and my friend Adrea and her fam for coming to cheer me on!
Now I’m stepping up my training for the next 10K at the end of June.
After lunch yesterday Maya and I headed to the AAPI festival in Edina to see her friend perform in a Korean dance and drum group. It was awesome!
Today Luna spent time in my face and then we went to the Lynx game!
Callie spent the weekend going to Alex’s soccer games and Chris spent the weekend working on our porch and other various wood cutting activities.
Have a great week!
Happy Friday! We enjoyed the sunshine and nice weather this week. And the lilacs finally popped!
The gerbils have continued their ridiculous drama and I’m the latest casualty of trying to reunify the brothers. Don’t let Peanut’s cute face fool you. He can draw blood.
You can see some gerbil hijinks in some of these video clips (along with some random other things from the past few weeks), but just know neither attempt to put them back together in the past 2 weeks worked and they are still currently in 3 different cages…
I’ll leave you with a portrait I was gifted from the art teacher at my school!
Have a lovely weekend! Send strong vibes tomorrow morning…it’s 10K race day!
In honor of Pa’s birthday, I found a great Timehop video serenading him!
We love you and hope you have a great day!
First up, it’s Mother’s day! We are so grateful for all the wonderful women in our lives. 🩷
This was a fun weekend. On Friday night both girls were busy, so Chris and I went out to dinner with friends and I got a pretty pink drink with an origami crane! Then we picked Callie up and she drove us home…did I mention she got her permit this week???
Yesterday morning was my longest run before my 10K next weekend! It went well and I fell ready. It also helped me get over 18K steps yesterday.
Chris and I went to the Lynx home opener last night. It was so great to be back and to watch new players on the team play. We lost by 1, but it was an exciting game.
This morning I got some time to myself, got a heart bagel and Chris gave me my gift- new homemade wooden planters. Callie also gave me this beautiful drawing.
We went over to Mari’s (everyone but Maya, she has been sick this weekend) and had a great pizza lunch and fun wiffleball in the backyard.
When we got home I spent some time on the porch with these two crazies.
This afternoon, I went over to Dan and Hanna’s for Mother’s Day celebration #2! Unfortunately Maya was still sick and Callie ended up with a fever, so Chris stayed home with them and I got to go enjoy the taco bar and spicy margarita and give G-ma her gifts!
It’s hard to believe in less than 4 weeks it will be summer. Can’t wait!
Happy Friday! It is finally amazingly lovely outside after a chilly week. I had a good couple of early morning runs this week, including a couple deer and some beautiful sunrays.
This was a bad week for the gerbils. We dealt with gerbil drama, if you will…major gerbil fights, which resulted in all three gerbils needing to be separated, which resulted in needing to find a third cage in a short period of time. Thank goodness for Facebook Marketplace…
And finally, some self-care.
Have a lovely weekend!
My Timehop for you today comes in video form!!! Click here for some Maya music performances, 8 years apart.
And for your information, she’s the little girl in a dark dress in the first clip, and the flute on the end in the second clip!
Hi all! It was a fun weekend. Yesterday I went for a run and Chris got Alex working on outdoor chores.
Callie and Alex went to a school carnival before we headed to Maya’s afternoon show. And then hosted Great Margie’s birthday dinner!
Today was more relaxed.
Happy May!
Happy May!
This week we have photos of our beautiful tree, that bloomed this past week.
And pictures from yesterday, as we remembered my dad. I wore his Luther sweatshirt from the 70s.
Tonight Maya performed as Mrs. Weasel in The Fantastic Mr. Fox!
Have a great weekend!
