Here is what I read this month:
No matter where I am physically on a Thursday… (whether I’m called off, on call, or actually at work, I’m mentally here every Thursday:
I just acquired the cutest chauffeur there ever was:
He has driven with his dad but January 18 was my first time driving with him. We drive the highlander around our neighborhood and he did great! He has also taken me to the grocery store and nailed it!
Around the corner from our house is a little hole in the wall spot that has killer gosh tacos and they are half price on Tuesdays. It was a spot we found right when we moved to the area. Every once in a while, I love grabbing lunch there. Here is the plan for today:
Happy Tuesday!
A low key weekend and a few snapshots of our shenanigans: We kicked off the weekend with a win for Ryder's high school team. Kit baked bread to go with our favorite soup, we snuggled our bunnies, Kit did a memorial service out on a boat for a friend's dad from church, and we made the viral dumping bake from Trader Joe's for the second time and we loved it. Sunday is always a day at church and then napping. We had a really sweet weekend and are ready for the week ahead!
Eden had a hard day last week and her brother was the perfect person to lift her spirits.
At one point she had tears and he wiped them with his sleeve. I wanted to cry. I had to snapshot this moment, but it’s the type that as a mom, you’ll never forget.
After a few weeks of having my work days be all over the place for the holidays, we are back to our Thursday schedules which my headspace which puts me here:
I went to our little downtown farmer’s market and came away with some amazing goodies…
I really love little outings like these!
On Saturday the 17th, Ryder was invited to play at the Serie A Elite talent ID camp in LA and he killed it! He scored the first goal, his first touches were excellent, he skill has grown like crazy over the years and he loved getting to be out there.
We are so proud of this kid!
Today we remember and celebrate an incredible human being. Of the incredible words and works he shared with the world, this is probably one of my favorite quotes:
I look at the world we are in now and I reread his “I have a dream” speech and I wanted to weep, one with how broken it is, and one for hope of wholeness and not giving up that these big dreams can become realities…
The other night so took Eden to practice and it happened to be close to Kit’s office. He met me there and we had a little time sitting and watching Eden’s practice and talking…
I love every chance I get to spend with this man…
Every January, I print out my favorite photos from the previous holiday seasons and spend time scrapbooking the memories!
It makes me so happy to look through the books that I make.
We love drinking coffee and making fun coffee drinks. I found out about this espresso maker that you use on your stove top. It has even been listed under camping coffee makers. So Kit and I found a really reasonable one on Amazon and have been loving it! Our tiny Yeti espresso cups now have a time to shine…❤️
While Ryder was at an MUN conference:
I sure know how to party on a Saturday…😉Lots of babies bring lots of joy!
We stayed in cottage #36, which we quickly learned was one of the best ones!
We walked to the beach and tide pools:
We grabbed food at the Shake Shack and enjoyed the lights:
We spent time at the cottage:
Our time was precious. It was an INCREDIBLE way to kick off the year!
