Today was a super long, super great, super tiring day. It’s already like 9:15pm and I’m just now starting this post, so I’m going to keep it simple. That’s the plan at least, we’ll see how much I end up blabbing… 😉

Cousins & Cornbread Read More »
OK first, I want to share my late-night snack from last night, which was the last slice of my homemade bread, toasted & spread with this Trader Joe’s pumpkin butter, because wow it was delicious. And now I’m thinking I should make another loaf of bread this weekend, right?!

We started a new month yesterday, and Florida’s governor issued a state-wide stay-at-home order for the next month… With all the craziness and darkness and disappointment and struggles in the world right now surrounding this virus, when most of us are “stuck” at home, or for those of us who have been deemed “essential Government employees,” this message on my calendar to “enjoy the little things” seems like a very important reminder right now. Cliche, sure. But also, not…
I couldn’t have known when I made this back in December, how fitting this would be in April, but I think we’ll make a point to do just that. We’ll enjoy the little things this month, like extra time with my tiny 3-fam, video calls with the rest of the family, beautiful weather & time spent in our yard, and lots of time in our comfy, cozy home.

My precious girl slept in again, and so I naturally woke up at 7:45 again, without an alarm, and without a chattering toddler on the baby monitor. She was awake by 8am, and then we snuggled on the couch, eating breakfast and watching some of Frozen II.

Well after not napping hardly at all yesterday (and with two short-lived, middle-of-the-night wake-ups), my girl was sound asleep when I woke up naturally, with no alarm, and without hearing a chatterbox toddler, at 7:45am. I have no idea that last time I woke up like that!
…
So with daycare being closed today (for an unknown amount of time at this point), Jeff and I will be just tag-team taking care of the tiny Tater Tot, and try our best to make it through at least this week. So, he worked from home for the morning, while I took care of and played with Emerson… And so today was Emerson’s first day of in-home daycare!

Usually, on a “normal” Sunday, we don’t ever eat breakfast at home. Partly because we don’t have time, but mostly because our Sunday school class all takes turns making & bringing breakfast for everyone each week. But today, since our worship services are all still online-only, we had breakfast at home together.
…
We started the morning with Emerson doing some indoor “yard work” while I made pancakes for breakfast.

Today’s foggy scene was vastly different than the bright, clear orange sunrise of yesterday morning, but the dreariness is kind of nice sometimes too, right?

Sunrise was beautiful this morning! Those of us not able to telework got to see this huge bright orange sun cresting over the interstate this morning (which I realize isn’t a majestic location or anything, but it IS wide open and clear coming down the little hill). It’s hard to tell from a cell phone photo, but wow, it was so pretty!

This little girl is just so precious in this adorable cherry dress, with her new gold wedding sandals.

So after being off of our normal schedule for the last six days, Emerson was a little confused about what was happening today. Between last night and this morning, she probably asked about 30 times what she was doing today and whyyy she was going to school today.

We got on the road sorta early again this morning, after getting some DD, around 8:30am.

Finally Back in Florida Read More »
We actually got up and moving pretty early this morning, and since we had done the majority of the packing last night, it was easy to finish up and get loaded relatively early. So once we were woken up early-ish by the toddler, we were in the car and rolling by 7:40am!

Breakfast today was even weirder than before, because we only got to choose from a few cold items, and then they bagged it for us to bring it back to our room again. So we had things like cold, un-toasted bagels, or a muffin or banana. It left much to be desired.

Hotel breakfast was again grab-&-go, so we had to pick it up and take it back to our rooms to eat.
…
Emerson started her day by getting her hair curled for the first time!
And then we had a really good continental breakfast at the hotel. With those fancy fresh juices, and my array of choices, I felt like one of those “balanced breakfast” ads. And it was all so good! They even had fresh smoothies, which Emerson definitely loved.

First things first, we’re in Alabama tonight! (And the post title should sound like “Hotel California” in your head, just to be clear.) And we’re on Central Time, and it’s late. So I’m going to mostly photo dump and leave the chit-chat for another day, because I’m on an unfamiliar laptop, on slow hotel wi-fi, and it’s just weird. (But you know when I say I won’t write much, I usually still do…)
Anyways, first thing this morning, we packed our car with a whole bunch of stuff, dropped off Emmie at school, and then Jeff and I worked a half day until noon. When we got off work, we went out to my parents house, transferred allllll the stuff to my Grandmother’s car, and then the 3 of us loaded up and headed to daycare to pick up Emerson from school. And then we hopped on the interstate for a little road trip!

My precious little cutie pie was excited to wear a new shirt with little bunnies on it. And I just love her in these cute little tshirts! There’s something about a tshirt (rather than a onesie), that makes her seem like more a big girl, which I love and hate at the same time!

Jeff got our new coffee pot set up, and ran a test batch through the pot with just plain water, before making us a regular pot of coffee for work this morning.
