A Picture Update

First up, I completely missed a birthday shout out this week…it was Auntie Hanna’s birthday on Monday!!!! We love you and hope you had a great day, even if it was a Monday!


As for the rest of the week, check out my Wednesday post for my birthday festivities (if you missed it).

Otherwise, here are the rest of my pics from the week:


Maya had the day off of school today, so she hung out with Boom for the afternoon. 





Have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday Me!

Hooray! I’m 42 today!

It’s been awhile since I have been in school on my birthday. But one of my classes planned a party for me (I helped, along with my co-teacher…it was their project for the week!) and it was adorable. 


If you zoom in on the lower left pic you will see homemade 4 and 2 confetti- for turning 42 on 4/24/24!

Tonight Chris surprised me with a dinner with my longest and dear friend Adrea and her husband Steve at Pizzaria Lola! Her gift to me was the most perfect tshirt ever made. 



Thanks to everyone else for the birthday calls, visits, texts and messages! I’m feeling very loved!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a good weekend.  Yesterday Mitchell and Isla came over for lunch and some play time.  


And I made my favorite soup (soup season is ending!) and Chris made a fire and we enjoyed the chilly but sunny evening.



Today Chris and Maya worked on taking out these big ugly trees, which will eventually be replaced by new bushes.


Then we headed over to the Lindsay's house for some pizza and ice cream pie to celebrate my upcoming birthday.



Maya and I took Luna out before bed and enjoyed the pretty sun setting.


Have a good week!

A Picture Update

Hey all!  Happy Tortured Poets Department to all who celebrate (we do!) and to those who have no idea what I'm talking about, Taylor Swift released a new (DOUBLE) album today that I have been listening to on repeat as I am able since about 4am.

Anyway.  This has been a busy week!

On Monday night Chris and I got to go to a WNBA draft party at the Target Center because we decided to get Lynx season tickets this summer!!  We met Prowl and got to watch all the players we watched in the NCAA tournament get drafted on the big screen from the floor of Target Center.



On Tuesday I went with Hanna to see Celtic Woman, and we had an AWESOME TIME and now are going to add that group to our music listening repertoire.  They did a version of Amazing Grace with bagpipes that about did me in.  It was all amazing.


Wednesday and Thursday flew by and today I got some new kicks while Maya made herself her own car.


Have a good weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up

What a BEAUTIFUL weekend we just had! We basically spent time enjoying the perfect weather.

Callie spent Friday night at Boom’s house, so they did a grocery run and some baking.


Yesterday I had some hammock time, there was a lot of outdoor playtime (even Luna in the wagon) and I met a friend for patio dinner.


This morning on my run I saw a bald eagle swoop down and pick up a squirrel, and then carry it away in its talons, with other birds on its tail. It was wild! And then Luna was needy for attention when Maya woke up.


We had our first deck meal today for lunch and some outside playtime!


And then a fun nature walk.



And then we stopped by to see Auntie Mari, Uncle Josh and Avery before they left town.
