Maverick and Beverly started preschool this past Monday. My freedom was amazing, though quickly spent with grocery shopping. Wednesday’s four hours without Bev and Mav were a lot more relaxing with a short trip to the gym for my ten minute water massage, a dentist visit, and lunch by myself at Panera. They love it …
I have to think back to my week, because it feels like Janustember 1032th. Andy started Trauma this past week. He hasn’t had a break since he started so take this schedule with a grain of salt: 6 days a week, 13 hr night shifts. Yup. He got a couple of hours of sleep the …
We didn’t have a lot going on this week, but Bev and Mav had preschool open house. I am ready for preschool to start. Being cooped up in the house for four plus months isn’t good for anyone. Granted we had time to visit family, which was so fun and so exhausting, but definitely good …
Max is back at school. We made the tough decision to put him in and pushed forward with faith. But my faith was tested when he came home on the first day and when asked how his first day was, the tears came. His best friend had moved to a different school, he had to …
We were able to virtually bless Harvey today with friends and family watching. We were able to get away one last time before school starts. We went to the local lake for one last beach day. We were able to go with our neighbors and we took a friend’s twins with us. It was nice …
This week we got a taste of normalcy. Well, more of what normalcy could be. Tuesday, I got a text from my neighbor about going to the beach with them the next day. I’m not a super sporadic person, but it just so happened that Andy had that day off and so we said, sure …
We returned home from Myrtle beach last Friday, but it’s taken the whole week to recover, unpack, and get back into routines. I’m still pretty tired, but that could be due to Andy’s night shift schedule. It is always hard for me to go to bed on time when he’s on nights. Getting the kids …
As you can imagine, having a baby makes things a little chaotic and normal routines and tasks get pushed to the side. Having a baby in the middle of a pandemic makes it that much more challenging. We were blessed to be able to have my mom and dad come visit and help us during …
We had a bit of a crazy Easter as the kids went to town on their Easter Baskets and Max was really the only one with any self control, so I’m pretty sure all Bev ate today was sugar of one form or another, Mav had a bit less and Max had the least. Typical. …
The kids and me went out bug catching today. We were on a mission to find bugs for our garden, in particular, lady bugs. The kids took the PowerWheels ATV down to the creek and we walked to find bugs. We found a “yellow-orange” lady bug and put it in the bug cage and brought …
