We started the last half week of school off with celebrating Max’s high honors. Beverly had a great recital later that evening. She has gained a lot of grace over the years. Next year she wants to try tumbling and softball. Tuesday, Andy and I went to Beverly and Maverick’s end of school year parties …
We started our week off at the new house with the inspectors. I looked at flooring options for the basement while they did their work. Some minor repairs need to be done, but the current owners are going to take care of most of it (including repairing our replacing the roof). I was sick most …
End of the school year means recitals, the close of baseball season, award ceremonies, and this year a baptism all of these things happen in the next two weeks, so we’ll be crazy busy, but this past week wasn’t busy at all which was good, since I’ve been fighting a virus all week. Since today …
I hosted book club this week. We read, “The Let Them Theory, by Mel Robbins. My friend, Holly Petty, recommended it to me. I think everyone who read it really took something from it. Here were a few takeaways I had: My sister-in-law, Sara, had a grandma that would sub at my high school. She …
Harvey was counting down to his birthday since Andy got home. I can’t believe he’s six! Harvey and Maverick had baseball on Harvey’s birthday. We had a great time as a family cheering them on. It still feels surreal having Andy home, but also normal. He had his first shift back at work and the …
Still getting migraines, but feeling incredibly grateful. We had a lot of fun with friends this week. Andy and I were able to attend the temple on Tuesday, he got our Tesla fixed Thursday, and we enjoyed some out of town friends this weekend. I think I said this last week, but it’s weird how …
Andy couldn’t have come home at a better time. We’ve had all week to reconnect and have some quality time as a family. We went to the zoo, the new Mario movie, had friends over, and Andy took the kids to the trampoline park. It’s been so nice having Andy home. Many people warned me …
A friend wrote of her thoughts of Easter week: “Each of us will have our own Fridays–those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces… But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death–Sunday will come,” Elder Wirthlin. My …
Three more days, but who’s counting? The kids think he’ll be home April 2nd, but we’re going to surprise them on April Fool’s day with an “early” return. With baseball under full swing in our household, he’ll be thrown back into the realm of dad hood and get Mav to practice Wednesday evening while I …
A little over a week away. We are so excited to have Andy back with us. Because we can’t seem to let life be calm for a while, we’ve been house hunting. Now that Andy will be starting as a civilian doctor, we can afford a bit more space. We’ve put an offer on a …
