We drove to church since we were super late waking up – we had to wake the kids up at 8:20! The kids went to their classes and we sat outside on the plaza. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as cold as the week before! Then when we got home, we made the dough for Naan […]

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

Today Declan had his belated 5 year well child visit. We tend to skip the well child visits as long as the kids are healthy and don’t need anything. We mistakenly thought this was one where he needed shots, but either way we wanted to ask about his acid reflux. Declan refers to this as

Sunday was jam packed. We went to church and decided to sit outside to avoid the need for masks, we had checked the forecast on Saturday and it was supposed to be in the mid 60s. Well it was 55 and dropping as we walked to church. We snuggled under a blanket and did our

We woke up on Saturday and decided to throw caution to the wind, toss our plans out the window and head for the mountains. As we got ready we decided to go to Hiwan Homestead and texted some friends of ours that live near there to see if they were free to visit last minute.

We started our day out as normal. In addition to our normal chores and routines, our old neighbor had sent us a discovery kit for KK and Declan’s birthdays over the summer. The kids had a grand old time breaking apart the clay to discover “Dinosaur Bones” which they were then able to assemble into
