Week 3

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  We're getting close to the end of January and the end of high school basketball season.  Thankfully most of the rest of the games are at home which helps a lot.  Justin is back at Humboldt and ready to start his 2nd semester.  Spring break is only 2 months away so not too long before we see him again. Tomorrow is a big birthday for me and as usual we will be heading to the mountains for a ski weekend.  I'm super grateful that we'll have fresh snow and also be able to avoid storms while traveling to and from the mountains.  Can't wait!

Until then here are last week's pictures:

Day 13- Monday, 1/13/20

Justin is having an afternoon snack and trying to ignore the beggar boy.  Brandon had early morning practice while it was dark out so he could not ride his bike which meant I had morning drop off and after school pick up duties.

Day 14- Tuesday. 1/14/20

Today at work I typed up a couple protocols and reports, screened some micro plates, and optimized an ELISA test. After work I had snack-bar duties just as the sun was setting so I got to see this amazing sky near the high school.

Day 15. Wednesday, 1/15/20

It's Back-To-School night but first there is a basketball game.  At least the timing worked out so we could attend both.  Most of Brandon's teachers are newer meaning my older kids did not have them so I'm happy to be meeting them for the first time.  This semester he actually only has one teacher that is new to me and that's for his English honors class.

Day 16- Thursday, 1/16/20

Yesterday I received a nice little package from my sweet friend Sharon.  It's an early birthday present and I was able to wear it today.  The beads are made of material that will help bring balance to my life which is exactly what I need right now.  This year has started out pretty chaotic so I'm more than ready for things to balance out and calm down.  Brandon had another basketball game today right after we got back from another doctor visit for Justin.  Here he's waiting on a quick bite to finish in the toaster oven so he can eat before we head out.  He's also wearing the new team hoodie they just got at last night's game and of course texting his friends.  

Day 17- Friday, 1/17/20

TGIF!  It's Justin last night home before heading back to school early tomorrow so we're bonding over Ben and Jerry's.  Who cares that it's actually freezing outside?!  Ice-cream is always a good idea. 😁

Day 18- Saturday, 1/18/20

Rusty a bit annoyed that Justin is gone.  Those two had some good bonding moments over the past few weeks.  Meanwhile Justin has been keeping us up-to-date on his journey back to Humboldt.  First by train, then bus where he saw snow along the way, and then back in his dorm. 

Day 19- Sunday, 1/19/20

Bare winter trees and grey gloomy skies make up the scenery around here this weekend.  At least things are looking better for the Niners.  John is a happy boy with his freshly-made, game-day ribs and a win that will send his team to the super bowl.  #quest4six

That's it!  See you next week.
