Our dear friends hosted Christmas Eve this year. I was super grateful, because I was a bit hosted-out from the hurricane. We had tons of appetizers to eat from and always have a good time catching up. We have a great group of friends where are kids are similar ages (minus Jack and Luke… sorry, …
Considering it was a week of parties, it was a bit of a sad, hard week for me, but I can’t share that info on the web. Those of you who are close with me already know what is going on, and those who want to be closer, feel free to call me. I can …
Today we finally had our annual Primary program which usually happens Sept-November, but due to the hurricane, it kept getting postponed. We settled on today’s date keeping in mind that we had a brand new singing time instructor starting in November. The program went well and the kids did a great job. I helped the …
I didn’t get to post last Sunday because we were driving down to Florida for our couple getaway. But I when I was reflecting about what I wanted to blog about today, I thought about my trip and all I could feel was immense gratitude, which is fitting since that’s probably what I would’ve written …
I’m going to keep this brief, because I’ve got a lot to do while grandma and grandpa nap, but we’ve had a wonderful trip with them visiting. They came Thursday and leave Monday, so it was fast! But we’ll take what we can get. Beverly really enjoyed having grandparents on her birthday, especially since most …
Beverly’s birthday started really early this year. When hurricane Helene hit, her best friend was roller blading and we were all pretty bummed out about the hurricane, so we decided to give her one of her birthday presents early– roller blades. It was a good decision. It kept her occupied the whole week we were …
This week made me want to delete social media altogether. Some of my friends were very angry at the results and posted a lot of hate towards opposing views. I would not consider myself a “Trumper” but after studying up on the policies that each candidate stood for (or failed to make a stance altogether) …
Halloween was a blast. The majority of us went with the Durrants (as normal). We had a good time walking the neighborhood with them. Last year, we couldn’t keep up with the boys. This year, we couldn’t keep up with those two little girls! Harvey got a bucket full of candy and said, “I’m done. …
While I still made a few calls on the Crisis hotline, it was far less than the week before. Between being busy with normal life and fighting off a yucky bug, I wasn’t as available as I had been. There weren’t any organized volunteers for tree clearing this weekend either, so I guess as a …
While somethings have gone back to normal life– school is back in session where attendance actually counts, dance lessons are in full swing, sports are back to games and practicing, grocery stores are starting to normalize, etc.– some things are still off and sometimes a bit overwhelming. Andy has been out helping cut down trees …
