It turns out, this surgery was a little more difficult to recover from than my others. I’ve had four surgeries on my legs in five years, unbelievably. I wore a knee brace for six weeks, 23 hours a day or so. I was very ready to sleep without it and physical therapy has been veryContinue reading “Week 7 Knee Update”

Dogsitting
We were so honored to have our dog friend Arie stay with us for a bit. We had so much fun having two dogs in the house!
New Family Room
With Jim home for three weeks while I was recovering from knee surgery, we were spending a lot of time in the family room. Jim has not liked our couch since… we bought it, ahem, and we haven’t liked the arrangement of our family room since… we moved in. Our friend Kristin was over visitingContinue reading “New Family Room”
Deployment
We have two family members deploying soon, and we got to celebrate them by attending a ceremony and letting the kids see the helicopters and give one more hug. As a wise woman posted, “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.”
Snow – Finally!
We waited all winter, and the snow finally came over Valentine’s Day weekend in February. It was Maverick’s first snow, which was super fun to watch! I couldn’t do a lot in the snow, but I did get to enjoy watching everyone else enjoy the snow, and sit by the fire while we hosted friendsContinue reading “Snow – Finally!”
Back to School
In January, Haley started back in fourth grade weekday afternoons. In February, JT started back to school (middle school!) twice a week all day. It’s been really fun to ride school buses, see friends, and everything else that comes with school outside of the house.
Another Surgery
In September, I had a hip surgery to repair my torn labrum and reduce the bone in my hip socket that was gouging into my labrum. I’ve been recovering really well from that, and was hopeful to be able to snow ski in February and March. And then! On December 10, I was spinning onContinue reading “Another Surgery”
Boys Ski Camping
Crystal Mountain moved to an online reservation system this year, and we’ve had trouble getting spots reserved. We grabbed a couple of midweek sites, so Jim planned to go up by himself for a few days. But as it grew closer, JT realized the he could go too. So a boy’s trip became the planContinue reading “Boys Ski Camping”
Polar Bear Club
Since we were going to miss our nephew Preston’s family birthday dinner, and we wouldn’t see him on his actual birthday either, we offered to take him Polar Skiing for his birthday instead. We figured he would jump at the chance to ski in the freezing temperatures, especially in front of his girlfriend, and weContinue reading “Polar Bear Club”
New Year’s Eve 2020
Wrapping up the Year of Different for our family, Jim worked New Year’s Eve (and New Year’s Day) and had to spend the night at work because of a short turnaround. Since we weren’t going to attend any parties, the kids and I decided we would go spend time with Jim in between work andContinue reading “New Year’s Eve 2020”
