Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! Only a few pics from the weekend. 

Maya and I went to see her friend Lita in a community theater production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” 

And the pretty 6am sky this morning.

I’ll be back on Saturday for the Summer Week 6 photo dump! It’s gonna be a good one! 

Summer Week 5

Happy Friday! Somehow we are already half way through the summer! We had another busy week with not too many pictures to show for it, but both girls had friends over, we met Pa and Max for dinner, worked around the house and yard, etc.

As for the pics from the week, here you go! 

On Monday Maya and I headed to the beach in the late afternoon for some paddleboarding. 

The next few days included time with Olive, out to lunch with a friend, and a picnic with some of the Johnsons!

And then later in the week I had brunch with friends and more Olive time. 

Have a good weekend!

We love summertime!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! 

A couple weeks ago at a Lynx game, Maya and I got to wait in line after the game to take a photo with her favorite player, Courtney Williams. We finally got the photo emailed to us! 

On to the weekend…Saturday was spent doing chores and resting after the big day on Friday. Chris and I went to the Lynx game together that night- the first time we have been able to do that this season! On Sunday Maya went on a big bike ride with Auntie Cat, Chris and Cal went to a Lynx game, and Luna continued to puke out grass she ate on the 4th. 

Oh yeah, and I saw another turtle on my morning walk! 

Have a good week! 

Summer Week 4

Somehow a month of summer has already flown by! We had a very busy week. 

On Monday morning I headed to the beach to finally get out paddle-boarding. It was lovely. Meanwhile, Maya had slept over at Boom’s house Sunday night and got to spend the day with Boom, Lucy and Mila!

On Tuesday we met the newest member of the Gosselin family…puppy Olive! Dan, Hanna, Mitchell and Isla adopted her and Dan brought her over to meet us and Luna. They did great! 

On Tuesday night we all went to the Lynx game, and Callie got to meet one of our faves, Natasha Hideman. 


On Wednesday I went to meet my friend Adrea’s new baby, Noah! He is darling and just slept in my arms for a couple hours. We also had Olive during the day, so I got some puppy snuggles in the afternoon. 

On Thursday night Maya and I went to a Lynx game and got to go see the post-game press conference afterwards. It was awesome to get a little sneak peek behind the scenes! 

Then we headed to Bloomington Summerfete, where Callie had spent the evening with friends and Chris worked as a reserve officer, and got a primo spot for fireworks (thanks to Chris and the reserves) before picking Callie up. 


Friday was the fourth! We had a family BBQ at our house. Chris made an awesome BBQ pork on our new grill/smoker and the cousins all had a blast on the splash pad. The doggies had fun too! 

The other event of the week is our air conditioning went out on Thursday. Thankfully Chris found someone to come out Friday morning before our party, but it was a good 84 degrees in our house for about 30 hours. We were all super hot…and Luna was always panting. As the house was cooling down, the girls fanned Luna like the princess she is.

Red, White and ‘Tude: Part 2

We are deep into our teen/tween era so I’m keeping the ‘Tude (instead of Cute) going for this 4th!

But we still get to reminisce about the cute…

Happy 4th everyone! Stay cool and be kind!

And I’ll be back with my regular Summer Week 4 wrap-up tomorrow.

Truly it feels like a miracle that I know today is Tuesday. So here you go!
