Thankful for: 

A long, but good day. 

The end of a long, but good day. 

I got a lot of time to drive alone because Tobin had lacrosse practice and my mom picked up Addy from school. 

I got to sit and have a quiet cup of coffee with my mom before heading home. 

Higbee was very happy to see me. 

Lunches prepped and ready to go for the next day. 

Time to sleep all night. 

I finished the yearbook today.

Day 2,740

Thankful for: 

A fresh new Monday. 

A cold day with a sunny sky. 

I saw a mama fox with four kits this morning. It was a sweet sight. 

Matt, Tobin, and I got to go out to eat tonight. It's always fun to spend time with my loves. 

I got to go grocery shopping. I really love grocery shopping. I like to pick the best fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and snacks. 

Matt got a pole for my birdhouse so the squirrels can't steal all the food anymore. 

I finished the yearbook today and hit submit on the whole thing. It's done and off my plate. It feels good. 

Kisses before bed. 

Some lunch stuff is prepped for tomorrow. 

A little walk with Higbee. I love how he tells exactly what he wants and needs. He always wants both Matt and I to walk him. 

Time to sleep all night. 

A cold, cloudy Sunday.

Time alone. 

Cuddling with Higbee. 

Turkey hot dogs for lunch. 

Breakfast for dinner. 

Ice cream. 

This morning, I found 6 or 7 squirrels around my bird feeder, countless deer, and one giant fox! It was an amazing sight. One doe even stamped her foot at me. 

Modern Family. That show makes me laugh so hard. 

I finished the yearbook today after working from 7:30 to 4. I am so glad to be done with that project. 

Matt got a few groceries from Wegman's today. I asked him to get me some cupcakes, and he did! 

The feeling of a hot shower after a long day. 

A fresh new week and day ahead of me. 

I'm starting a self-improvement plan tomorrow. I'm going to start walking, using my ballet bar, and stretching every day. 

I booked a haircut for myself for June. I'm excited! I was inspired by my daughter and my sister in law, Cheyenne. It's time for some fresh hair. 

Lots of hugs and cuddles from Tobin and Addy today. 

Addy and Tobin watched old videos with me from when they were young. It always makes us smile. 

Time to sleep all night.  

Celebrating Oliver and Odette!

Day 2,738

Thankful for: 

Delicious coffee. 

Adelyn had a great haircut this morning. 

We went shopping at Target. Adelyn bought the new Taylor Swift cd. 

We got fries and nuggets to share. 

We got to watch Tobin at his lacrosse game. He did a great job! 

We got to celebrate Oliver and Odette's birthday today! 

We had delicious food and desserts. 

We had a great time with family. 

Matt and I were able to take a walk down the forest path with Oliver. He stopped often to observe ants. He was saying really funny things like saying he saw a "pine-mouse." He also told me he didn't like bumble-wasps. It was a sweet time walking with him. I really miss my kids being Oliver's age. 

Aidan was so happy jumping on the trampoline and playing today. 

Coffee after dinner. 

The best family. 

8th grade formal.
