There was a lot of excitement in our area this week as we had our first snow! It was quite a shock to wake up to a couple of inches on Thursday, November 2nd. (What?!) It snowed off and on all day and it was soooo pretty. Then on Sunday, we received snow again andContinue reading “First Snow”

Halloween
We had a wonderful time spending Halloween with our neighbors and friends again this year. Haley went to open gym at her gymnastics facility first, and then we met up with everyone for pizza at the Drew house. Then we went trick-or-treating with four families represented and lots of running around at dusk. After hittingContinue reading “Halloween”
New bathroom!
Jim has been hard at work the last two weekends replacing the bathroom floor in our upstairs hall bathroom. Like any project, there were more steps than we’d planned but I am so happy with the results! He laid new floor, removed the random towel rack, and installed a new toilet. Next up: the laundryContinue reading “New bathroom!”
And then it turned fall…
We knew it had to happen eventually. Suddenly the beautiful weather turned cold and rainy. Fortunately Jim and I have these new matching jackets. 😉 Jim’s Grandma Hall came up to watch one of JT’s football games and his Uncle Steve and Aunt Susan came too. It was so fun to have Oregon family hereContinue reading “And then it turned fall…”
Crafting + Coding
Last Wednesday afternoon, it was rainy and the kids and I made a plan to do some coding and crafting. I have some micro:bits and an Adafruit Circuit Playground from trainings I have done, so we broke out the project page and a couple of Surfaces and went for it! We use the MakeCode programContinue reading “Crafting + Coding”
Football Plays
This weekend JT had an awesome game. Actually, his whole team had an awesome game! JT ran almost the entire width of the field (they play side to side) for a touchdown, and that was just the start. He also made a flying leap to catch his opponent ball carrier right before the goal line.Continue reading “Football Plays”
Staining the Sport Court
Ever since we had the sport court poured earlier this year, Jim has been so excited to get it stained and lined. He took the whole weekend to do all the steps and we were thankful for great weather so he could finish this up before the rain settles in. Step 1: Pressure wash onContinue reading “Staining the Sport Court”
Rock Climbing with Dad
It turns out, Haley is a great rock climber. She and Jim had a dad-and-daughter date for Sunday afternoon, but their first plan didn’t work out so they were in Seattle with no plans. Jim thought of going to REI and doing the climbing wall, and Haley was ALL IN. After she got harnessed upContinue reading “Rock Climbing with Dad”
First Flag Football Game
Flag football is in full swing. JT has been having practice twice a week and his jamboree was this past weekend. Here is the big man on his way to his first unofficial game. Their jerseys this year are fluorescent yellow. Like, squint-worthy. JT had an awesome play at the game. He played defender allContinue reading “First Flag Football Game”
Knee Surgery #2
Eighteen months ago, I had knee surgery on my right knee. Last week, I had the same procedure done on my left knee. Much of the details are the same, even the photos inside… although this time, my surgeon said there was some evidence my knee cap dislocated at some point. So that’s a bummer!Continue reading “Knee Surgery #2”
