We walked to church in the morning, it was a gorgeous day with the warmest and freshest fall breeze. Lover and I sat on the plaza for the service, and there were a lot of technical difficulties, so we mostly just enjoyed some time together with other believers. We’re working on coming up with a […]

Friday we went through our normal day – me writing in the morning, Lover hanging with the kiddos, and then getting the house ready for the Johnson kids to come over in the afternoon. Once they were dropped off, the kids played with them and the neighbor kids outside for a while, then we fed

We headed out Thursday morning to get a bunch of errands done. As you can see it was a cold morning, and Declan did his best impression of a blanket worm. 🙂 We drove all over the place, getting our errands done, with our last stop at IKEA. We saw a car with a Catan

We did a video call with Lover’s parents this morning, and after about an hour, Cassandra and I headed out for a quick errand and some special time. This is one of the benefits to Lover being home – I get to have special, individual time with the kiddos too! We haven’t found a groove

It’s definitely been an interesting adventure homeschooling our kids. Granted, our youngest two are not “officially” in school, but we still do a lot with them.

We started out our Saturday slow and easy as usual, but eventually headed out to the fun Goodwill on the other side of the city. We shopped for a while and found shirts for Lover, snow pants for Javi, a winter jacket for Declan and Keilana and lots of other goodies. Definitely helps stretch the

The big kids put together a slapstick comedy show today. It was super funny! Declan about lost his mind laughing, he thought they were hysterical. Whether he’s the one making people laugh, or he’s the one laughing, he always helps everyone around him have a great time. Friday is a writing day for me, so

Not gonna lie, it’s encouraging to see the months for this very long year tick off on the calendar! I’m ready for a new year. Especially because baby will be born in 2021! 🙂 Thursdays are one of my big writing days, so I came down and made breakfast for the kids, and some homemade
