Day 2655 | Reading Friend
/
After a walk to the library, Chase and I spent some time reading with the bun. He tries to eat the books more than an ideal reading friend would but he’s got other redeeming qualities.
Day 2654 | The Celebration Continues
/
Birthday round 3/4 wrapped up today with Robbe’s Dungeons & Dragons-themed birthday party. He had the best time ever—just so happy and enthusiastic. Even Chase was a good sport as Dungeon Master and assistant party-planner.
And now we have at least a short birthday break. A welcomed break, no doubt about that (although the beginning of April is feeling awful close at the moment).
Day 2653 | Spring Piano Recital
/
Robbe did AMAZING at tonight’s piano recital. He picked a tough song that he’s been working on for months and he crushed it. So proud of this guy
Day 2652 | Double Digits
/
That’s right…our *little* guy is now ten. Things are getting serious over here.
We had a really lovely day celebrating all of his favorite things: video games, shopping, D&D, ice cream cake, soup (he loves soup!), and a Marvel movie. Pretty fantastic, right?
I just love him so much.
Day 2651 | Arcade
/
We’re kicking off the birthday weekend the best way we know how…with a trip to the arcade. It’s not my favorite, but I’m not the one celebrating a 10th (!!) birthday.
Day 2650 | Swimming
/
Another swim meet and another happy swimmer. It sure has been fun seeing Chase take on a new challenge this winter. He won’t be sad when the four day/week practices are done, but I’m hopeful he’ll be up for giving it another try in the future.
Day 2649 | Temperature Shift
/
When the temperature shifts 50 degrees in 24 hours, you appreciate the little things—like the sunshine hitting my beautiful new plants.
Thank goodness the super cold is supposed to be short-lived.
Day 2648 | Champions!
/
Robbe’s team won the championship game tonight to end his second season of basketball. So much excitement and fun. He even had a special fan from Cape Cod to help cheer him on. Whoop whoop!
Day 2647 | Ice Cream for a Cause
/
When the school is holding an ice cream fundraiser, what choice do you have, really?
Day 2646 | Soaking It In
/
After several days of birthday celebrations and more laughter than is safely advised (I’m assuming), sometimes you need a bit of a break to soak it all in.
Day 2645 | Turning 40!
/
Thank you to everyone who took the time to help me celebrate my birthday. It means more than I can say. It was a really great day.
Day 2644 | Birthday Week Begins!
/
Can you imagine a better way to kick off a week of birthday celebrations than a Broadway musical right down the street? I can’t!
I’ve been waiting for this one. Eek!!
Day 2643 | Hanging Out
/
The bun has a new favorite chair.
Day 2642 | Army of Rabbits
/
We 3D-printed these “armies of rabbits” today and, I have to admit, they’re pretty awesome. So many rabbits and some pretty epic catapult situations.
Day 2640 | Swim Meet
/
Chase had his first ever swim meet today! He’s new to competitive swimming but he’s been learning a lot and is enjoying being part of the team. It’s been very sweet to watch. Today was his first official time in the lanes and he did great!
Day 2639 | Feels Like Spring
/
52 degrees in January…wow!
In you’re not sure how crazy this is, the normal high temp for today in Eau Claire is 24 degrees. That’s, like, a lot different.
We soaked in the warmer temps and sunshine as much as possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s snow on the radar for next week. We’ll enjoy it while it lasts, though!
Day 2638 | Pinball
/
Yep. We’re still pretty into it.
Day 2637 | Back to Back Weekends
/
We got to hang out with these friends two weekends in a row! Can you believe how lucky we are?
Day 2636 | Blugolds
/
A family outing to the UWEC Blugold’s basketball game tonight. Anni was cheering which gave us the extra motivation we needed to leave the house. This guy even got his face painted (and ignore the temporary tattoo put on backwards by his mom).
Day 2635 | Birthday Fun
/
Chase and I busted out of Eau Claire today to help this sweet lady celebrate her birthday. She’s been one of my favorites for a very long time and I felt so grateful to have spent part of her big day with her.
