A Picture Update

Hey all. Happy Friday. This has been a long week but we made it.

Maya had her last gymnastics class of the season so I watched her do her tricks and get her ribbon! She starts up a short season next week. She loves it!


And then we had a cute Luna face.

Have a good weekend!

We always joke with Dan and Hanna that Isla is SO much like Maya! Here is some proof.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a pretty relaxed weekend, which was definitely needed.  On Saturday morning Maya did a little selfie photo-shoot with Luna on the iPad, and the pictures ended up on my phone.  They made me giggle.


We went to Boom's house in the late afternoon and Maya got her first FLUTE lesson!  Also, Callie baked a cake and we ordered Indian food.  


This morning we did a lot of cleaning (and the girls got their flu shots, finally) but the real excitement was I MADE SOUP.  You guys, I just love soup season.  I made the Corn & Leek Bisque that I made a few times last year from my favorite cookbook.  It is creamy and spicy and just delicious.  Later the girls played Lego together and I melted. It rarely happens anymore, and today it was Callie's idea.


The Dahlens came over this afternoon for a campfire.  The kids took off immediately and we barely saw them the rest of the evening, until we ordered pizza.  And later, there was some piano playing and then we all played Maya's "Swich & Swap" game, but we were all to busy having fun to take photos.


Another crazy busy week starts tomorrow...

Happy Friday! My week was busy and my brain is fried. So here are my (very few) pics from the week: voting and a new flute player in the house!


Have a good weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy Birthday Nana!

Hello! Happy Sunday! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!! We love you and hope you have a wonderful day.


As for the weekend…there was cleaning and enjoying the fall weather (thank goodness it warmed up a bit) and still recovering from coughing. 


Today is also All Saints Sunday. The girls and I went to church with Boom. We lit candles for my dad and Papa. It was a lovely service. After that we visited the cemetery. 


I’ll leave you with an old-school QOTD (remember those????):

Maya: Callie, are you a good listener?
Callie: (pause) SOMETIMES.

A truer word was never spoken. 

Have a good week!

A Picture Update

Holy moly this week has felt like a month! There was a full moon, Halloween, snow, and then end of a quarter…😱

Additionally, Callie has had a cough the past week, and now Maya got it. And when Maya gets it, it is always a disaster. She had to stay home from school yesterday and today and she WAS NOT happy about it.

Anyway, here are my pics from Halloween:


And some other random ones:



Happy November! Have a good weekend.
