Happy Tuesday! We had a wonderful sunny weekend that was a welcomed treat and we'd like more days like that but sadly it's raining again with more to come. At least our prayers about ending the drought have been answered. It's been great having Tyler home for his spring break but sad that the other kids don't have break until mid April so we couldn't really go anywhere fun. Maybe next year. Busy times lie ahead for us. I'm having a hard time keeping it all straight and just need to focus on one day at a time.
Day 84- Monday, 3/25/19
Bella is so happy to have Tyler home. He always spoils her with treats and is happy to take her on nice long evening walks. He's pretty happy to be able to spend time with her as well.
It's cooler out again and we had a few over-ripe bananas in the house so it seemed like the perfect afternoon to bake a fresh loaf of banana bread. Then, of course, as soon as it comes out of the oven the crowd assembles ;0) This is one sure way to get them away from their electronics.
Day 86- Wednesday, 3/27/19
The rain is back in full force with scattered downpours--not showers but crazy insane downpours! Hopefully it will all end by mid May so we can open this pool and enjoy the outdoors more.
After a morning at the DMV with this kid to get our Real IDs done we went to lunch together and got some important things done for him to start the next quarter at school. It was a productive day so we earned that meal for sure. And of course it rained and dumped some more. At least the flowers like the rain. Some of my roses are coming in bloom so their pop of color through the rain is nice to see.
The weekend in upon us and the sun is shining again! Yay!! These new green leaves on our tree out back are happy for that as are we. It's supposed to be a very sunny and warm weekend. Bring it on! Bella is ready too. She relaxing now after a nice long walk soaking it all in. It's beautiful out.
Day 89- Saturday, 3/30/19
Our weekend days seem even busier than our mid-week days lately. Today started with basketball for Brandon who went to the line a couple times and had some other great plays all while John took the older boys to Sushi for lunch. Then after Brandon got back from a volunteer shift at the animal shelter we had an early birthday celebration for Justin who turns *18* tomorrow. We celebrated today with presents, a nice dinner, and then ice-cream cake so Tyler could join in on the fun before returning to school tomorrow.
Happy 18th Birthday Justin! It's mind blowing that I have 2 adult children now. This morning we enjoyed a birthday brunch for Justin and a farewell brunch for Tyler who leaves to catch a plane in a couple hours. Sadly I'm not sure when we'll see these 3 together again since it looks like Tyler will be staying in LA for the summer.
Wait! One more:
March's Family Photo
We're so happy to have our full family here for this month's photo on this beautiful spring day.
Ok-- all done! See you next week.
So much rain! I bet the banana bread was a hit!
ReplyDeleteHappy 18th Justin!!!
Love the family photo all together! Those times are getting fewer at our house too! Glad you get to have Tyler home for spring break! Love the banana bread! That is a favorite at our house too! You are getting a lot of rain, so hopefully no more fires or drought this year! Have a great week!
