Timehop Tuesday

Quick surgery update: it was a long day at the hospital yesterday but he is home now and healing. Woohoo!

On to the Timehops!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday everyone! It has been a very low key weekend for us. Yesterday morning I did an amazing 4 mile run, thanks to Taylor’s new version of the Red album! Callie told me Taylor Swift is “old mom music”, but that’s fine. I had the best run I’ve had in over a month!

Maya got a new book and spent the morning reading it out loud to me! Luna got in on the action as well.


Later we were just hanging out, watching the snow, and listening to Christmas music. And Luna enjoyed SNAPCHAT as well, apparently.

This morning’s run/walk was definitely a bit snowy!

The girls played over with the neighbor boys a big chunk of the day. I went to Lakewood and then to church for a concert- Tony Ross and Burt Hara- two of my dad’s favorite orchestra musicians. My mom sponsored the concert and lead a pre-concert conversation. It was an emotional afternoon.

Please send positive vibes to Chris tomorrow morning…he is having hernia surgery. Prayers for a speedy recovery are welcome!

I’ll leave you with Maya’s reenactment of a truck trailer commercial that she re-enacts every time we watch anything on Hulu…

Take care and have a great week. 

A Picture Update

Hi all!  It was an exciting week.  It was also pretty chill- lots of snuggle time in the basement watching all our family shows (old seasons of Survivor is one of the new faves!).

But the exciting part: THE GIRLS GOT THEIR FIRST VACCINE SHOT!!!!  Woohoo! 

Maya had ZERO side effects and was her usual crazy self the next day.  Callie had a bit of a tougher time...she came home from school early and was tired with a slight temp.  But totally worth it!

Today I worked from home and remembered how annoying Luna can be, and Pa came over for some games and we made muffins too!

Have a great weekend!

Here we go! Here’s Cal:

Weekend Wrap-Up

Somehow it is already Sunday night! We had a nice chill weekend.

On Saturday we met Boom for lunch and a walk around Centennial Lakes…and smoothies! 

Otherwise it was goofy time at home and then we did a season 8 Survivor binge on the couch! 

This morning I did my run during the pretty sunrise.

And Pa came over this morning to make pancakes and hang out!

Later, Boom, Auntie Yoda, Lucy and Mila came over for a deck dinner! In November! 

And since the sun set at 5pm, we did a glow stick dance party after dinner.

Have a great week! 

A Picture Update: Happy Birthday Nana!!

Happy Friday!

First up, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!!! We love you and hope you have a great day! 

These fall school weeks are a bit nuts. They just FLY by and I feel like I can barely catch my breath. 

Just a PSA if you know anyone working in education. It’s wild out there. Buy them coffee or wine or something.

Not me, I’m doing fine. Things are busy and I have a lot going on, but I’m lucky to be supported by great people and it isn’t impacting my mental health (for the most part!). But I have heard stories and read articles and it is just a hard and crazy time out there for people who work in the education system. 

Anyway. I don’t have too many pics, but here is what I got:

Chris ans I left the girls home alone FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER to go vote! It was like 20 minutes and they survived! Here’s hoping maybe an early dinner date is maybe in our future soon…? And then the girls snuggled on the couch for like 2 seconds and I caught it!

And then we have pretty sky and a goofy 3rd grader.

And finally, this girl who leaves for school in the dark (until next week after daylight savings, I suppose) auditioned for the middle school musical on Wednesday and GOT A PART! She will be Sardine Devotee #5 in Spongebob the Musical.

Have a great weekend!
