Its already been such a busy time over here, and with that busyness, I end up with LOTS of pictures that I want to share! I feel like I’ve been telling stories left right and centre, but apparently, we already have some catching up to do since the last day of school!
The first batch of pictures is from a late walk we took as a family! I’m feeling very mourny about things being different, and I know everyone feels the same. Same storm, different boat, right? When quarantine happened in Spring, we survived our days with long, moseying walks through town. And thats ALL I want to do these days, but my poor husband and his frustratingly numb legs make that a huge challenge for him. Its hard. But a few days ago, when the weather was nice, we took a very slow moving, shortish walk with the kids in the dark. They LOVED it!!
Conveniently, out of nowhere, Waverly refused the sled, and insisted on walking. So she and Brady were pokey together. It was terribly cute.
It was an all around really lovely walk. It was chilly but we all had a really really nice time.
It was a great walk. Everyone was nice and red and tired when we got home.
Dekker and Laela still had some reading time after the little ones went to bed. They used to each sit on a recliner across the living room from one another, but they’ve recently changed and always end up reading next to each other. I LOVE that change.
They may fight, but there is a lot of love there. ❤️
Onto the next! I noticed that Dekker has been leaving little notes and homemade decor throughout the house. My current fave is his hope banner.
Ugh. My heart! 💜
Also yes, I do need a bigger mug shelf, thank you for noticing.
Another observation. One of my succulents has a LOT of personality. Gonna have to figure this whole thing out…
A few other random shots…
Cher printed off a whole booklet of Christmas activities for them, as well as a copy of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
And lastly, yesterday night, the kids got their first haul of gifts! Thank you, Tom and Rae, for loving them so well!
Its been a loaded season already and we’re just a few days in! On one hand, I anticipate a much quieter, dare I say lamer, Christmas than previous years. But on another hand, its never boring around here! So hopefully these blogs will remind me how much fun we had during quarantine Christmas!!
In fact, I hear Santa is doing a lap around town in a fire engine tonight!! Maybe have to go see if we can catch a glimpse 🎅
