We got to celebrate Andy this week! He told me he didn’t want a party, but the kids pretty much planned his party for him. We went to one of Andy’s favorite restaurants: Panda Express, then went to the kid’s choice of a movie: DogMan. Andy is truly a selfless person and an amazing Dad. …
This time the kids didn’t just miss half a day for snow, they missed two and a half days! I know that people in the north will laugh that life stopped when we got less than three inches, but what they don’t understand is that we don’t have snow plows, snow tires, or even salt …
We had a blast celebrating Maverick on Saturday. Usually I am the one who plans and organizes the birthday parties, but Andy got a 3D printer for Christmas (which has been printing nearly non-stop since then) and wanted to use it to plan activities for Maverick’s birthday as well as print the goodies for the …
Though New Year’s Eve was last week, I didn’t have it in me, physically or emotionally to write in my blog. I was spent. The Saturday before New Years, Maverick got sick with a stomach bug. We all felt a little yucky Sunday so decided we’d better stay home to prevent spreading anything. It was …
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, …

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 …
