February 8

Last night was Night to Shine, one of my favorite nights of the year.

February 7

Today I am subbing 5th grade in the morning and high school in the afternoon. 

February 6

Last night at church I worked with babies. Lucy came in at the end of youth group and enjoyed playing with them.

February 5

I volunteered to supervise CEC students at Sam’s Club at lunch. Sam’s Club is nice enough to let the kids use their cafe each week. It was fun watching Elliott with his school friends. Lucy brings her lunch each week and stays at school with friends. I had a couple of hours to kill until it was time to pick the kids up after school, so I went to a nearby library and read (I may have taken a nap too).

February 4

In between baseball practice, schoolwork, and CrossFit, we stopped in for a visit with Old Mamaw.

We had a little time to kill before a baseball meeting last night, so we went to a park to feed the ducks. We didn’t see ducks, but we fed fish, a goose, and a turtle. We enjoyed the 70 degree weather before the temps start dropping again.

February 3

We enjoyed some fresh air yesterday with 60+ degree temperatures.

January 30

Getting some homework done at the library while Lucy was at CrossFit.

Fun with the little people at church. 

January 29

Clay and I worked out last night. We then proceeded to come home to fresh-baked snickerdoodles, courtesy of Lucy. Yum!

These shorts at the Goodwill reminded me of 10 year-old Julia. She loved her some hot pink and zebra print.

This girl has had stomach issues for a long time. The issues have escalated to vomiting frequently for the last few weeks. I have reached out to friends and relatives who are lactose and/or gluten intolerant to get advice. Kat has an appt with a GI Dr, but not until Mid-February. She wanted to see a doctor sooner, so she made an appt with the Pediatrician. I went along in case they drew blood (she doesn’t do well with that). They said they would let the GI Dr do that because that test will be more thorough. They suggested cutting out dairy (because we think that might be the culprit) and documenting any time she is nauseous or vomits and what she ate prior to that. I may have laughed at my 18 year-old on the table with Ninja Turtle wall decor.

Lucy giving herself a mani. She wasn’t feeling good again Saturday night (or most of yesterday), so she and Clay stayed home from church. I’d say a lock-in wasn’t her best move after just getting over a fever. 

Elliott napped after church and being dragged to the grocery store. 

We watched the NFL yesterday.

Clay completed another puzzle. 

We had a (mostly) relaxing Sunday. Here’s to a new week!
