Christmas Tree & Recovery

Leave a Comment / Daily Journal, Emmie & Addie, Weekends /

We’re alive! After almost four days of blog-silence, I’m checking in really quick tonight with a super simple recap post, just to say we’re alive, but just barely. Last Friday, Addison had a little stomach bug. Then it hit me late Saturday night, and then it finally got Jeff on Monday. I stayed home from church and work Sunday through Tuesday, and am just now on the tail end of things, feeling better and more like myself, after a three-day stomach bug & recovery…

So let’s start with tonight, because Emmie and I got the Christmas tree finished up, after starting it on Saturday morning. She was SO proud of it, and this photo was taken when she just quietly walked over and stared up at it for a few minutes, and was actually not posed at all. (I need to rearrange a few of her ornament clumps, but she was a super sweet helper and did a good job helping me.)

Thanksgiving 2021

We have had a great Thanksgiving! So much good food (obviously) and the best time with both of our families. It’s almost 10pm already though, so let’s just basically photo-dump & run… This “My first turkey day” was Emerson’s outfit four years ago, and even though it’s a size 3-month, it still fits Addison 🙂

Peanut Butter Ramen

So today was supposed to be Emmie’s dentist appointment, after last week’s hoopla… But CVS never actually filled the prescription we needed, so we still didn’t get to go again today, which we didn’t even realize until first thing this morning. So Emmie was sad for a bit, but I reassured her again that we’d reschedule, and I promised her she’d get to go to the dentist soon. What a mess… But she perked up when I let her pick out her own outfit for school, including the Halloween pants and Halloween Paw Patrol shirt

Fend For Yourself Night

After a fun 3-day weekend of camping, we were back to school and work today. When we drove past our local high school and Emmie realized there was no traffic, and I told her the big kids weren’t at school this week, she was not thrilled that she had to go, but we still had a nice easy drop-off. And look at this crazy yellow coloring and sky and clouds and everything!

Camping Under The Full Moon

We are back in town now after such a great camping weekend. In all of our years of camping, this weekend had the most perfect, beautiful weather, and we had great campsite, and we had the best time with our biggest girl! (This photo was this morning, Sunday, but I wanted it to show up first… but let’s jump back to Friday…)

Three Pork Dumplings

Little cutie pies this morning before school! Today was “purple for preemies” day, and although neither of my girls were preemies, our sweet triplets were (here’s the blog post from when I first held them!), and we wanted to support them. (Even though their mommy forgot to send them in purple today ) And uh, Emmie picked out her shoes today, and even though I think they’re supposed to be water shoes for summer time, it wasn’t worth the fight…

Sobbing About the Dentist

So this morning we were supposed to take Emmie to the dentist. But long story short, everyone forgot that she was supposed to take one dose of antibiotics 30 minutes prior to the appointment, because of her heart surgery, so at 7:45ish we had to pivot. We had planned to leave home at 7:45, but my girl was sobbing because she was upset that was was not going to the dentist today. So I offered to get her a donut on the way to school as a special treat, but she just wanted Mommy to make her an egg sandwich at home! What kind of kid do I have on my hands here?! One who cries over not going to the dentist, and is obsessed with boiled eggs, egg salad and devilled eggs… What a silly pants girl!!
