Moments 05 21 :: Week 05

Nothing to see here. Just a jar full of Shortcake Sundae Crumbs. They are also good on yogurt, fyi. 

Fun with the water hose.

We ate all of it.

Glad I've been heading into the gym again. Finally. Someone has taken over my space with his wood pieces.

Looking for squirrels.

Another batch of hand-dyed napkins. These are made with Madder, and so far my favorite. Love how they turned out.

Moments 05 21 :: Week 04

Deep conversations.

Last Saturday I had a day to myself while the guys all went to the vintage races at Road America. After so much time together, it was amazing. I spent the day cleaning the loggia, and even sat down and read a book. In the middle of the day. 

It's still my workout space too. Pretty nice set up if you ask me. I did start going back into the gym a couple weeks ago though. I am very happy. The convenience of just going outside to do a workout is pretty awesome, but I really love seeing my friends.

C had two soccer games on Sunday. One with his team, and one with U18/19. We never know where he'll be playing. He's been loving defense, but played striker once, and center midfield at this game. Fun to watch.

Van Duke is 18 weeks old, and has so much energy. He's also been a stinker and crossing the street! So we've spent a lot of time at the dog park this week. 

So many speckles. 

Moments 05 21 :: Week 03

We got 15 yards of mulch delivered. Van loves it.

It feels so great getting out once in awhile again. We met a friend at a warehouse show, then decided to grab lunch at Cafe Corazon. I even got talked into a lunch time margarita.

We also grabbed coffees. When they called out the drinks, they said Byron, which we found very funny for some reason.

Happy guy. The beginnings of a new fire pit and his dogs.

Made a delicious posole using Rancho Gordo dried hominy and their Posole Rojo recipe. Definitely a winner. 

Sunday was Mother's Day, and I got spoiled with my favorite breakfast - bagels & lox - in bed. They usually leave me alone to eat by myself, which I used to always feel so weird with. Maybe it's a year of togetherness, but it felt pretty amazing this year. 

We took a quick trip to Racine to visit Grandma. Pam and Ian stopped by as well. 

Then headed over to my sister's to celebrate Mother's Day, and....

my niece's graduation from college! 

Maia is done with UW Madison, and heading to Marquette University Law this fall. 

So much for the fun. On Monday, H got his wisdom teeth pulled. Yuck. I decided to get my second shingles vaccine while picking up his medicines. I usually don't get effected by vaccines, but I was completely laid out the next day! I can't remember the last time I was so sick. Not good timing. At least H had a refrigerator stocked with yummy soft foods. 

Love how these two are always playing or snuggling. It's the cutest. 

Finished another book. Wish I took more time out to read because I love it, and have so many books I want to read! I need to get on it.

Can't go the week without a couch snuggle photo. Van is officially 17 weeks, and weighs 31 pounds.

I've kind of been in a funk this week. Hate it when that happens. A class actually in-person at the gym, sunny skies, and gorgeous blooms definitely help. Yay, it's the weekend.

Moments 05 21 :: Week 01

This is from last week, but somehow didn't make it into the blog post. I'm not sure how, because so cute! It didn't last long though. 

Dying with Madder. 

Someone is loosing his baby teeth.

Such a good boy. 

I think he's made himself comfortable. 

16 weeks. Huge.

The last of us got our second dose of the vaccine. We are basically a test family. I got Johnson & Johnson. Brian finished his Moderna on Monday. H got his second Pfizer on Tuesday. And C got his second on Wednesday. Brian and H were pretty out of it the next day but then fine. C has been rocked. He's been out of commission for two days. At least we know he will feel better soon.
