Day 392: Total Redo

Day 392: Total Redo

On Monday, both kids woke up and immediately set about whining about how they didn’t want it to be Monday. I did my best to reassure them and say, “hey, the weekend will be here before you know it!” But that’s admittedly a tough ruse to pull...

Day 391: Sunday in the Park

Day 391: Sunday in the Park

We had a fairly low key Sunday planned, but of course the kids were asking what fun thing we were going to do. In a bit of serendipity, I heard from some friends in our bubble, asking if our kids would want to play with their daughter for a little while at a park. So...

Day 390: All Good Things

Day 390: All Good Things

Normally we're all excited for Saturdays. The weekend is here, and the story is our own to write for a few days. But this Saturday was a little different, because it was also unfortunately the day that Auntie Kallin had to head back to Chicago, and we had to say our...

Day 389: Take A Seat

Day 389: Take A Seat

Friday arrived and the kids were ready for the week to come to a close. Henry had definitely been running on fumes with all he has going on, and Amelia was ready to call it a week, too. Erin was feeling better, but still on the mend, and I was dragging pretty hard...

Day 388: In the Backyard

Day 388: In the Backyard

So it's been a long week and I don't have a long post in me tonight, but I will just say that Thursday was a pretty good day. Erin continued her recovery, I had a Zoom presentation, the kids both had school, Auntie Kallin was working remotely too, and we all got about...

Day 387: Rest and Recovery

Day 387: Rest and Recovery

Wednesday was a pretty quiet day around here, which is good because Erin is recuperating from her eye surgery the day before. She was feeling pretty good, but tired and a little sore, so we all did our best to look after her.The kids had pretty low key days, too....

Day 386: The Wait

Day 386: The Wait

Tuesday was the day of Erin's eye surgery. We needed to be there late in the morning, so we got Kallin settled with the kids and headed out. It was a common procedure and Erin was definitely in good hands, but of course there are always nerves with this kind of...

Day 385: The Now

Day 385: The Now

One of the things that we sometimes struggle with Henry about is the fact that he can get hung up on little things and just get stuck. Kind of like a record skipping. He'll ask about it over and over again and be distracted from what's going on right in front of...

Day 384: Easter

Day 384: Easter

It was Easter Sunday, and clearly the kids take the thematic idea of "rising" very seriously, because they rose from their beds at the crack of dawn, excited to go find a bunch of hard boiled eggs they will have no interest in eating.Of course, also candy.And it was a...

Day 383: Preaster

Day 383: Preaster

Saturday was a super exciting day for all of us, because it marked the return of Auntie Kallin, our good friend from Chicago. She was out a little over a month ago, and was awesome enough to come back to help us out for a few days. Erin has a small medical procedure...
