Welp, life is a bit busy again! Having six months ‘off’ from all the things sure does make it a shock to the system to return to routine. It’s so interesting how hard it was to adjust to having NOTHING on the calendar when the world shut down in March. We grieved all the thingsContinue reading “A Little Life Lately”

I can’t believe it. We have lived in Colorado for five years now. Sometimes it feels like way longer and sometimes it still surprises me that I don’t live in Texas. But here we are, five years in. As I was reflecting on all the things, I remembered that I wrote a blog post rightContinue reading “The 5 Year Coloradoversary”

Well if this isn’t just the weirdest year ever for your oldest child to be entering kindergarten! Talk about quite the introduction to the whole school thing. Yet, here we are! Caleb has 3 years of preschool under his belt and ready to take on kinder… with a mask! Our school district started in AugustContinue reading “All About Caleb: Off to Kindergarten!”

Well here we are… already at the end of the summer and still smack dab in the middle of a pandemic! Remember back in February when none of this was our reality? Me either because that feels like a lifetime ago. Or remember back to March when we kept saying that if we all behavedContinue reading “The Summer of 2020”

Well here we are, week 18452 of quarantine! Can you even believe it?! These are such strange times that I decided it needed documentation of a day in the life. I’ve done these in the past but those obviously included going places and doing things. This one… is obviously a little different. I also don’tContinue reading “A Quarantined Day in the Life”

So here we are… right smack-dab in the middle of a pandemic. Isn’t it so surreal? We are in week four or five already (who even really knows at this point) and I still have moments of disbelief. If someone would have told us a few months ago that this would be our reality, there’sContinue reading “Our Quarantined Life Lately!”

We have had a week over here, y’all! Between runny noses, coughs, a fever, a migraine, our house has been disinfected and lysoled to the moon and back. So to distract myself from all that business, I’ve decided that it’s another time for quotes by Caleb! One of the best parts of this age isContinue reading “The Caleb Quotes: Volume III”

Happy 2020, y’all! It’s that time of year when everyone likes to make goals, set new resolutions, basically get a fresh start. Nick and I did something new this year (thanks to a million hour road trip!) by filling out Jennie Allen’s Dream Guide. It’s an outline of different aspects of your life and promptsContinue reading “Road Trippin’ Right Into 2020!”

Summer is over and it’s back to school time! (Now only if the weather would get the memo.) Caleb has officially started his last school year at the preschool at church and I’m trying to be totally chill about the whole thing. Next year he will be off at kindergarten in some building that IContinue reading “All About Caleb: Off to Jr Kindergarten!”

June has already come and gone which means we are already halfway done with summer! How does that happen so fast?! But we packed it in with a lot of things that deserve to be documented. Caleb played his first t-ball season! It was entertaining watching 4, 5, & 6 year olds play which basicallyContinue reading “The Days of June”
