Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy Mother's Day!

Hi all!  Happy Mother's Day!  My children all cooperated for a picture today.  Hooray!


We had a nice and busy weekend.  Yesterday morning I went on a chilly run, and then Luna joined me for a cool down walk.  The girls had dance pictures after lunch, and it was a bit chaotic! 


We went to a big birthday party for Pa (and Chris' Uncle Gary) in the afternoon and saw a whole lot of Gosselin aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. that we haven't seen for a long time.  It was great to see everyone!


We had fun hanging out with the family!


Last night the girls had fun playing with Luna in the basement.  Craziness ensued, as always.


This morning was rainy, but I went on an early morning walk anyway...and was rewarded with lilacs.  And then later, Eggs Benedict! 


We went over for Boom's house for play time and lunch.


And of course we had to FaceTime Avery and Auntie Mari!



This afternoon G-ma, Auntie Cat, Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla came over for more cousin playtime and a deck dinner...including homemade Sangria.




We have had a mama duck nesting in one of our front bushes, and just in time for Mother's Day, her eggs began to hatch!  Click here for a video.  It's kind of hard to see, but you get the gist!

Happy Mother's Day to Boom, G-ma, Nana, Gigi, Grammy, and all the other wonderful mothers out there!

Happy Birthday Pa + A Picture Update!

Happy Friday…and Happy birthday Pa!!!!! Glad we got to celebrate with you tonight! 


Tacos and a lake walk and crazy kids…lots of birthday fun!


As for the rest of the week…some homework on the porch, some cookie baking, and FINALLY some blooming trees!


And a hair cut (with a little bit of “peekaboo” color underneath).


While the haircut and color was happening, Maya and I were busy with flower buying/planting, magazine reading, and candy eating. 


Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Yay!!! It’s Papa’s birthday today! I’m throwing it way back to the first time he met both the girls. 


We love you and hope you have a great day.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hi all-

We had a fun weekend...Saturday was cloudy and rainy and Maya found some sock pairs with Luna's unwelcome help.  And Sunday was sunny! 


This morning we went downtown to Boom's house, and we stumbled upon food trucks and the 60th Guthrie anniversary open house.  We got to take a backstage tour.  It was awesome!





Later, Maya went on a scooter ride while Luna and I walked.


Have a great week.  Hopefully spring is here to stay!

A Picture Update

Hi all! We had a very busy week. Here are the highlights:

A band concert and a family dinner with Pa and his friends (and all the kids!!):


A full moon (very) early morning run, a pretty sunset and happy hour:


Tonight we had a family fun night at Maya’s school, and she did, in fact, have fun!


Have a good weekend!
