Jenny’s glucose challenge, to test for gestational diabetes, was today. The drink they usually do alway makes Jenny super sick, so Jenny’s midwife allowed her to make a breakfast with 75g of carbs for the test. As Jenny went to her appointment the kids worked on school. In addition to the regular stuff Javi has […]

I started writing this morning. I’ve been debating what story to work on next, but after finishing Intruder last week, I’m kind of obsessed with working on the next book. I’m nothing if not predictable! I wrote a couple of chapters this morning and then came down to help with school and the kids. They

I was really tired today. Not sure if it was a sugar crash, a pregnancy thing, or a post-party weekend thing. Either way, I alternated between naps and work today, and that seemed to work out just fine. I did a whole bunch of laundry, sorted and put away baby clothes, and cleaned up random

Wednesday morning I fed the kids and then we immediately got started on making our pinata. Declan slept in so he missed most of this process. We blew up the balloon, ripped up paper, and made a paste of flour and water. Then we got messy! We covered the balloon with several layers, and then

So today was a productive day. Jenny finished the current round of edits for book number two of the Hurricane Chronicles while the kiddos and Luke mostly focused on school and chores. Along with the usual school work we spent quite a bit of time showing how “counting by” 1s, 2s, 3s, etc corresponds to

Monday was snowy and C-O-L-D. We thankfully had no where to go (thanks COVID!) and could just stay warm and toasty inside. Javi saw how much snow had fallen and immediately wanted to go out and shovel, and we were more than happy to let him do that! He cleared two big tracks to let
