Happy Friday!
How was your week?
I feel like a broken record, but ours was nothing short of…interesting. We had Riah’s sleep study (thank you SO much for all of the love and support!!) and the boys’ first basketball game, and last night I got dressed up and was my mom’s date to her company Christmas party at our favorite Italian restaurant in town. It was so fun! We even got to dance to our favorite Christmas song at the end of the night after everyone had already left. Anytime there’s dancing it’s a good night in her book.
This week, the boys had their Christmas luncheon and we all went and had lunch with them! They’re in different grades, but their lunches overlapped long enough for us to be able to eat with both of them. Riah’s teacher was also Allan’s Pre-K teacher and dug up this old photo from TWO years ago when we came to his Christmas luncheon:
I can’t believe that photo was taken two years ago. At that point, our kids had only been with us for about five months. We really did lose an entire year (time-wise) didn’t we?
Meanwhile, we finished all of our work early before the holidays (!) and now we can focus on cleaning up the house and the farm. I can’t tell you how excited I am to just clean. I never thought I would get to that point in my life, but I think that’s what happens when you become an adult. It’s the other stuff that excites you. We’ve been talking so much lately about what horrible shape our house is in that I absolutely can’t wait to devote hours and hours to folding clothes and cleaning the house and putting everything in its place. Pure bliss.
In other news, we have a new vlog premiering this Sunday, and we’re also going to try out doing our bi-weekly live chat Vino & Vent every week now! That’s right, we’re going to be live chatting every Sunday night instead of every other Sunday. It’s truly a highlight of the week for us, getting to talk to everyone and catch up, so we’re excited to start spending every Sunday night with you and expanding our conversation topic a bit. We’ll explain everything this Sunday, so hope to see you there.
Here we go! Hope you have a lovely weekend, dear reader. xoxo
