A Picture Update

Hi all. Happy Friday!

As of today the four of us in our little household continue to be negative for Covid. I honestly can’t believe it, and am grateful. We will continue to be careful and do what we can to stay healthy…but also know that we still have 3 different schools of germs coming in to our house and it may be inevitable. Thank goodness for vaccines and science! 

Last week I think the only pictures I had were of Maya, and this week it is all Cal: a selfie, cool new shoes, and a snowy morning walk to the bus stop. 

I also had to throw in a couple pretty sky pictures, as per usual.

Here are Luna’s Friday vibes. I feel similarly. 

Have a great weekend- I’ll be back on Monday for the Weekend Wrap-Up since we are off school on Monday.

Happy Birthday Gramma!

We love you and hope you have a great day

Here we are…deep into winter!

Maya’s “now” face is a good representation of the cold of late.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all-

Happy Sunday evening.  We had a pretty chill weekend.  I'm still coughing some but I didn't take any cold medicine today for the first time in over a week, so I'm calling that a win.

Yesterday morning was above zero (YAY!) so I took Luna out for a walk for the first time in days.  I also finally opened up the two different family calendars we got everyone for Christmas.  And Luna had a cute face.

We spent the afternoon at Boom's house.  The girls had so much fun playing in a different place for the first time in over a week.

Last night I finally got to "meet" my friend Adrea's brand new baby, Hattie!  She was born on Christmas Eve and is totally adorable.  I can't wait until everything settles down and I can meet and snuggle her in person.

Today was very low key at home.  Callie, Luna and I went for a mile long walk in 1 degree weather.  Later today we introduced the girls to the old school Jumanji movie.  Luna was a weirdo.

I made a homemade chicken tikka masala for dinner tonight...it was delicious!  One of my goals of the new year is to try new and different recipes.  So now that I'm feeling better, this was a start!

I'll leave you with another goofy picture of Luna.  Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Remember when I said last week would be a boring update? Just wait until today’s post.

I was out sick Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Maya stayed home on Wednesday because she was sniffy/sneezy, but tested negative with an at-home test (thanks again, Boom!) so she went back on Thursday. Callie woke up Thursday with nose congestion and a bit of a cough so

She stayed home that day, but also tested negative and was better for Friday. 

My school decided to go distance until at least next Tuesday, so I worked from home on Thursday and Friday.

THIS IS ALL SO CONFUSING AND FRUSTRATING. 

That’s all I’m going to say on that. 

Here are my pics: goofy Maya and Luna.

And here are my depressing low step counts this week (on the left, compared to the first week of break on the right😱). The cough and cold air made it just impossible for me to do any running, and even when I tried walking on the treadmill inside I fell into coughing spasms.  Not fun.

I’ll leave you with a complication of Maya flying from the trampoline onto a soft chair while watching Survivor.

The girl is NON-STOP.


Have a good weekend! Stay warm!

This sums up my mood for 2022 so far:

Thankfully, the four of us all tested negative. I’m still dealing with a crappy cold and cough, but hopefully one more day of rest is all I need. The girls are both back to school today. We’ll see how the rest of the month of January goes…it should be interesting.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Well, the first weekend of 2022 is going to produce the most boring wrap-up ever. We have hunkered down at home because I’m still sick, it’s freaking cold outside, and the world is bonkers. 

Chris made Eggs Benedict for the first time in forever yesterday morning, so I was grateful to have that as my first meal if 2022. We also watched the Harry Potter special, which was SO GOOD.

The girls have done an amazing job of keeping themselves entertained, while I have tried to keep my distance. It was fun to see and hear them playing together again…they hadn’t done much of that in the busyness of the school year. 


So far Chris and the girls have not seemed to catch the awful head cold I have, and we all went to get tested again this morning just in case. We went to the airport at 7:30am and the whole process took about 50 minutes…long lines!

Back at home there was just a lot more resting (for me) and playing (for them).

They have one more day of break tomorrow, so hopefully they’ll get negative test results back and can go to school on Tuesday. I’m taking a sick day tomorrow, just in case, and will see what my test results are. 

So for January is a bit of a bummer. Hopefully it perks up soon.
