Timehop Tuesday

I remember this day from 13 years ago…it’s crazy how time flies!

And I also remember putting this baby Maya sleeping collage together as we were not getting any sleep and she was only sleeping on us!

Time. Flies.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hi all! We had a very busy day yesterday…and a very relaxed day today. It’s all about balance, right?

The first big event of yesterday was our 25th high school reunion at Minnehaha. Dan and Hanna came with (we left 3 of 4 kids at our house with G-ma) and we had a great time catching up with friends we hadn’t seen in years (or decades)!

We took a tour of the building. In 2017 there was an explosion that basically demolished the building we knew, so everyone from our class who was there (about 35/100) was very interested in seeing the new space. It was beautiful! And they had a whole area dedicated to alumni artifacts, including old phone books and even a photo of Cathleen and her German teacher!

About halfway through our tour, we ran into our band director, Mrs. Hallberg, who is still there! She came to our wedding 20 years ago. And she was able to point to each of us from our group and name the instrument we each played…25 years ago. Amazing!

Then there was a rooftop happy hour where we mingled, looked at old photos, and enjoyed the lovely evening.

Before we had to head out, a few of my girlfriends from elementary school and I recreated a photo from our 6th grade Washington DC trip in what I think was 1993. The fashion was impeccable!

We then headed out to take photos of Callie for Homecoming!!! We met her group at Centennial Lakes to take pictures in their fancy clothes before the dance.

Her date is Alex…her boyfriend. :)

They had a blast at the dance, and she was tired today!

We just hung around at home and got some things done.

Everybody watch the Lynx at 7!!! They need all the positive vibes they can get. They need a win tonight to keep their season going. 💚💙🖤🤍

There was gerbil time with G-ma this week…

And more with Isla! Along with some games at confirmation.

Have a great weekend…we have a busy one ahead!

Timehop Wednesday

Oh boy Tuesday flew by in a flurry and I missed the Timehop day.

It’s fun for some fun random pictures to show up from the past where there is an actual Timehop that can be made. Like this one, with my sisters and Uncle John!

And then there’s me and Maya.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

This weekend has been a bit of a whirlwind. Chris had training both days, I got a lot of cleaning done, we had family over, and the Lynx played!

Avery and Josh were in town for the weekend so his mom and Avery came by yesterday afternoon so the cousins could all play!

Maya cleaned the gerbils cage and I gerbil-sat and they were stinkin cute.

And Maya got some high fives after a successful Lynx game!

Have a great week.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday…I’m exhausted so I’ll just leave you with some pics.

Maya and Chris came to my school carnival on Wednesday.

And I got a (free) perm! My close friend at school’s daughter was testing for her cosmetology license, and since my hair is already weird and curly, I figured…why not?

That’s about it! Have a good weekend!
