2.8.2021

Our week in pictures! 

It was a hectic week- combo of online teaching during the breaks of the Dissertation Defense classes and the chairs were sticklers- although super awesome! They ensured our success and kept my distracted self in those rooms til 5pm! But we made it through! Matt wins all the multitasking Dad trophies. He taught and maintained sanity with 4 kids in the adjoining room! Teamwork makes the dream work!


This was everything. One of my students was visiting family here in AZ and came by to meet me in person! ALL THE HEARTS.
Thankful for someone else making the daily food - breakfast lunch & dinner, plus 2 snacks. I felt like a kid. It was beautiful. 

The crew!
Hannah was beaming with the macaron ice cream treat! Yum!
Pool time!

We were thankful to have local friends over for pizza and crokinole! This was a new to us game & we all LOVE it! 

Early bird gets the best chairs. Oh wait, I think we were the crazy birds. It was 60 degrees and noone else was swimming for 3 hours! 👀





Sunday church time, and she lasted longer than usual! She loves sitting on the seats now! 
Super Bowl Sunday! 
Elle and Lulu
That sky tho!


Have a great week xo

All the LOVE for February! 2021



Multitude Monday comes from my 1st residency ( eek!) and all the Elle Woods vibes! 



Disclaimer, I am not at Harvard 😆

I am at a resort, because it gave the University more space! Thanks COVID! All the hearts for this perk. We love Hilton Tapatio & we love our room setup, and I do kinda like seeing people face to face again! This hermit is coming alive 😂💃

Thankful this week for health. Every.single.day. 

Thankful for faith & our Constant, during stressful work stuff. 

Thankful for this local church's awesome interview with the Tebows! It was not recorded, or I would link you up, buttercup! It was SO good. Harrison & I went in person in naive hopes to see them live & maybe get his Bible signed. It was recorded, but still so so encouraging, thought provoking, inspiring, tear jerking. ALL THE FEELS. 

Thankful for pure cuteness.


Thankful for Hudson's well check going well, we want a few private evals done at Children's & needed a Dr referral, and how cool to return to the same pediatricians office that saw him after delivery! His eyes and hair are the exact same from that birth announcement! 


Thankful for Starbuck's awesome photo opp!
Thankful for this girl's heart. We heard a heartbreaking story, of a little girl named Claire- that had suffered serious child abuse, and it broke our hearts. Unfathomable stuff you guys. Maybe just maybe some random stuff could help her realize how important, valued and loved she is? Pray for Claire. She is only 4. Pray for Grace, the sweet Sunday School teacher who took the news to the right people & is working on her Foster care "stuff", so that she can help this sweet girl. Pray for Hannah to keep using her sparkle and kindness to bless others. 
Thankful for far away friends that send early Valentine's gifts!
Thankful for spontaneous lunch dates with my MIL! Peter Piper Pizza!

Thankful for rainy days & long chats with friends!
Thankful for God's love! 
Thankful for Saturday adventures!


Thankful for Lulu time! Such a dollface. Her newest words are: Cool & Yes ( Best words ever) 
And now she is trying to saying phrases, with such expression, totally non- understandable! But SO PRESH! And still only eats the Charms, from Lucky Charms.


Thankful for neighborly love! Each month we have loose trash pickup, usually it is just that loose trash. Not this week baby! We met our neighbor - so that's a win! We scored a dresser ( missing a knob but lets get real, it will get a face lift this summer when we are too hot to do anything) ...
A new desk and cool swivel chair
And this couch! We are researching ways to keep it weather & critter safe. It may be trash again but for Movie Fridays it sure will be awesome!
Thankful for my personal hair stylist! Another week another braid!
Thankful for celebrating our gymnast niece!
Thankful for pool dates!

Can you see Harrison? Yeah I can't either! But what a fun night he got to enjoy! 
Ok reader friends, signing off! Time to play kahoot! Have the best 1st week of February! And get those Super Bowl snacks ready! 
XO
