Timehop Wednesday

This week has been bananas already, so I missed Tuesday. I have some State Fair Timehops today.

This one got me: Bops and Callie and Callie and Mila

And Auntie Yoda and Callie and then Mila!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! We had a really fun weekend. Yesterday morning Maya and I had some gerbil time. That girl is a gerbil whisperer!

Then we met our college crew at Nik’s for a bbq. Many of us met about exactly 25 years ago at Luther. And now we have a bunch of kids.

Today was State Fair day!! We met up with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Lucy and Mila (Chris opted to be our chauffeur and go fishing instead). We ate lots of food, some did scary rides (thanks Auntie Yoda!), saw G-ma’s quilt and lots of walking!

Tonight I was in charge of these three whole Maya cleaned their cage. Those faces. I can’t!

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Sorry, not sorry, but this may turn into a gerbil blog soon. That’s what most of my phone photos are these days.

First off, happy birthday Uncle Craigles!! Hope it was a great day!

After three days of nonstop crazy busy work from 8-4 starting Wednesday, my brain is beyond fried. But here are the pics I have…

On Monday Maya went to a movie with friends and we fed the gerbils yogurt.

On Tuesday Maya and Lita had their gerbils meet and I got a few moments of calm before the work storm started back up.

The gerbs did great, which prompted Maya to earn money to buy another one for our house…so now we have MEATBALL!

It was a bit of a rocky start with all three of them together but Meatball has settled in.

Maya spent Wednesday with Boom while I went to work, then more gerbil time.

Callie was busy a few days with friends, the high school open house and otherwise relaxed, soaking up her last weeks of summer.

And I got a few moments of peace in the evenings after work.

Have a great weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

An old Timehop popped up and I was able to add 2 more babies to it!

Love all those sweet faces!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! We had a relatively quiet weekend. The big outing on Saturday was a Lynx game for me and Maya. It was Prowl’s birthday so we got Prowl hats and lots of other Minnesota mascots were there! And…we beat our last year final‘s nemesis, so that felt great.

Today we hung out with Auntie Hanna, Uncle Dan, Mitchell, Isla and Olive this afternoon, and then the Dahlen’s stopped by later too! Not many pics but chaotic fun!

Have a lovely week.

Summer Week 10

Happy Friday! This is my last full week of summer…I go back to work on Wednesday! I can’t believe it!

Callie completed Driver’s Ed this week, Maya and I went to a couple of her friends’ musicals, the girls spent time at Boom’s, Pa stopped over, and there was lots of time with the gerbils!

Oh yeah…and I hung out with some llamas…?!

I made a 3.5 minute gerbil video for anyone who is interested…never did I think I’d have so many photos and videos of two tiny creatures! Click the link if you’re interested. Ha! https://vimeo.com/1110448943
