weekend plans...

 I am working tomorrow...  The kids have soccer tomorrow and we will all be at church on Sunday, but tomorrow, my plan is to be here:

We will turn anything into a date...

Last week, Kit and I had to renew our licenses and get our Real Id's.  The fact that we are 9 days apart, we always get our notices at the same time.  So off to the DMV we went.

We then headed across the street to Taco Mesa, where Kit bought me tacos.  Bless that man...

As not-fun as errands like these are, we always manage to have fun and laugh together!  If you can have fun at the DMV together, I say marry that person!

I {finally} found it...

 I love the English countryside. I have been looking for a landscape that I could have in our home and while on our trip, I found one (actually 3) to bring home!  We were in Camden Market and a little vintage stall had a stack of paintings from local artists.  He gave me three for 5 pounds! 

I had been looking for so long that I was not about to have this thing get smashed, so while on planes, trains, and automobiles, I held that thing close:

My family called it "the baby" because I was always carrying it in transit...

Finally home I picked the one of three that was my favorite!

(It was hard to get a photo with the curve...)

It was worth the wait to have a piece of art that I love that has such a sweet story and memory for me that goes with it!

Graduation is coming...

 This weekend, Kit got to take my nephew Max's graduation pictures.  We took them after Ruby's party around Redlands...

We were at the Redlands Bowl, where our graduations all happened.

We went to the train depot.

We all tagged along...

We can't believe how fast all of our kids are growing up!

Our niece is 16!

 This weekend, we got to spend time with our family out at my sister's house to celebrate our niece Ruby's birthday.  

I just can't believe this girl is so grown up! 

changes are coming...

 Last week, the kids had their open house for Middle School as well as Ryder met with the high school counselor to look at classes for next year.  We were all able to be there and I can't help feeling nostalgic about all of it.  

I love that they have each other!

The kids are ready for all the changes that are coming, but I don't know if I am...

  

Thursday

 Here we are on another Thursday... It's been so busy but I am grateful for the work that I get to do...❤︎
