Something new

Last week, I had the opportunity to work part of a night shift. I’ve never done that before. Eden made me an iced coffee and I was able to make it until after midnight on the unit.

a favorite pastime

 I love to scrapbook my photos…

It might be my most satisfying crafting project.

Albion Cup

 This last weekend, Ryder and his Strikers MLS next team participated in the Albion Cup tournament. It was SO hot!!!

I love watching this kids do his thing! They played so well. I’m proud of who he is on and off the field. Way to take the home the championship fellas!

He’s gotten to be at this level with boys that he’s played with for years! So since AYSO… So proud of the boys!!!

sibling reciprocation

Eden saw a trend where you hug your sibling and see if and how they reciprocate it:
She sat like this for over 10 minutes…

They both won the sibling lottery!

3 years in the making…

This soccer season, Ryder has made it to MLS Next, the second highest level in club soccer. Every year he works so hard and has advanced in levels each year. 

This felt significant and he was SO proud!

Fluffies

 These rabbits are so fun! This past week we had to do a nail trim and clean up on our lion-head’s face from wet hay…

Messy fluffies for days…

They bring us so much joy…

quiet mornings…

 I love my quiet morning walks when everyone is just waking up, it’s nice and cool and all I hear are the birds…
