A Timehop Friday Picture Update

Guys I think I’m losing my mind. This week has been another madhouse. My brain is at max capacity. So here I am on Friday with Timehops and only three photos from the week. 

And my first cross stitch project is complete!

This girl needed some snuggles tonight, and so did I.

And then, for some exciting news…Callie made the b-squad basketball team, so new bball shoes were in order! 

Have a great weekend! 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Not too much to report from this weekend…but Chris and I got a date night! We went to the roller derby and then dinner. 

And then there was cross-stitching and soup making.

Callie, her friend and I went to see Billie Eilish tonight. It was a blast! 

A Picture Update

Hey all. It’s been a tough week. 

I don’t have too many other pictures besides the ones I posted on Wednesday. 

I decided I needed to take up a hobby that keeps my hands busy so I stop doomscrolling. So cross stitching it is!

Chris and Cal had fun at the T-Wolves game tonight…decked out in Lynx gear of course!

Yes, Chris is wearing the same sweatshirt I was cross-stitching in earlier today. 😂

Take care of yourselves this weekend. 💙

Heartbreak

I’m not sure how else to describe the election results except with the word heartbreak. 

We did our part and we had hope. 

And now we feel the hard feelings but don’t let them settle. We release them. 

And shift our hope for a better future to a hope for the best. I’m scared for our girls. I found this below amongst the many thoughts being put out in the world today. 

Now I’m practicing self-care with Luna in a quiet house. 

Tomorrow is a new day. 

Timehop Tuesday: Happy Birthday Nana!

It’s Election Day! Make sure to vote! 

And also, it’s Nana’s birthday!!!! We love you and hope you have a wonderful day! 

And as a completely unrelated Timehop, here are Maya and Avery with cranky faces in their Auntie’s weddings!

Uncle Josh’s sister got married a few weeks ago, and the photo Mari sent us reminded me of our own little toddler back in 2016! 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all-

It has been a busy weekend.  Yesterday we met Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla out at a big park out in Plymouth.  They had a lot more snow up there than we got at our house!  The kids had fun playing and running around together.

Last night we enjoyed the sunset out by the fire pit.  And then the Dahlen's came over to enjoy a fire.

Today was All Saints Sunday at church.  I stopped by Lakewood before meeting my mom for the service.  We lit candles in memory of all our loved ones who have died.  

This evening we headed over to Uncle Craigles' Auntie Yoda, Lucy and Mila's house for playtime and dinner!

I'm pretty anxious about election week.  We have two daughters, four nieces, one nephew and one more little niece or nephew we haven't met yet.  We are voting for their rights, their health and safety, and their future.  Please make sure you get to the polls. Our democracy depends on it.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday!  It was another busy week!  We had a Halloween event at Lund's, a dinner date with me and Cal, pumpkins and church, and a Halloween fox sighting.

Yesterday Auntie Cat came over for dinner and trick-or-treating with Maya, while Callie's friend came over to trick-or-treat with her.  So Chris and I both got to stay home and relax while handing out candy and drinking wine!

There was a pretty sunset and a LOT of candy.

Today I saw two bald eagles flying around together and eventually hang out on top of the football field lights.  I feel like that is a positive omen for election week next week.  And then, a lovely cocktail to combat the election week nerves...

Luna and Maya are having a sleepover tonight.  No idea how that's going to go...but they both seem excited about it!

Have a great weekend.
