March is here!

Happy Multitude Monday in March! Oh how I love new months! They seem like Mondays. So fresh and ready for anything! 

Thankful this week to celebrate my amazing mother in law. She is so incredible as a mother in law, a mom and a memere ( french for grandma). We all adore her. Anyone who meets her, adores her. Her kind smile and warm heart are shared with anyone she encounters. What an amazing example for our kiddos to see. 

Thankful for a date out with Hannah. It's so easy going out with 1 out of 4! 

Thankful that we get to enjoy Harrison's culinary creations! Last week was croissants. This week was scones. The house smelled so yummy! 

Thankful for penpals in different states for the kids.

Thankful for fun hair ideas!

Thankful for virtual art lessons with the best teacher! My aunt from MA! 

Thankful for the best teacher's assistant ever! She got my room ready for my in person kiddos! Today was the 1st day back for them in person and 4 came. It was the perfect little reopening day. So crazy that a whole year has passed since kiddos were in this room!

Thankful for these two. Their fun team name: Booty and the Beast. 

They lost, sadly in the semi finals BUT they get to play once more, and have a good chance to take the trophy!! Get it boys!!

Thankful for this cutie. Somehow this week she learned how to hold hands and actually want to hang on when we are walking? Thank you Lulu that made life lots easier! She also continues to endlessly chatter, with much expression.

Thankful for hand me down toys! What a fun play kitchen!

That happy face, when you have no clothes but you wing something and it worked! The target tie dye dress was hardly a dress on me, and the length was just puffy and ehh. So I chopped the length and the neck and made a fun top!  Viva la difference! Date night ready!

This is rare. And oh so needed. Love that Harrison takes his big bro role so seriously and loves some extra cash and Lulu was in bed.

Not pictured are the other two peeps that joined us! Much needed double date with good friends. Love ya Matt & Jess!

Thankful for nothing to do on Saturday morning. Rise and Shine and go to AJs . Lulu is in awe of the birds that love her crumbs. We are in awe of her excitement of something that seems so ordinary. 

No nap? No problem. Those lashes and lips tho. 

Party ready for our fave Jovette! 

How fun is she! She had a hula contest with the kids! 

And of course, if you knew you my father in law, you know that he will buy anything for the kids, anytime, even if it's another dose of sugar right after the party! The ice cream truck hit the jackpot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOVETTE! XO

Look ma, no hands!

Thankful for practical teaching on greed. The ambush of it is real and it hit really close to home. Praying for some changes . These 4 steps are posted on our fridge. The 1st one tho! Marketing gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME! 

Thankful for zoom dates with our fave Canadian couple. Of course the behind the scenes are always a hot mess. True to form is Lulu's love of playing with her greek yogurt. 

Have a great week, XO

Happy Multitude Monday!

Ann Voskamp's post today about the dailyness of dishes truly resonated. Although our janitor at school was a hot mess many days, I want a janitor to help out around our school aka home :) The never ending messes tho! But let's take a minute to see the beauty in the dailyness of the dishes. The daily joys through the journey. Watching how God is in every minute and His faithfulness shines bright and how our faithfulness needs to shine bright as well. "Faithfulness is built on the ordinary things we do faithfully every day."(annvoskamp.com, 2021). 

Thankful for amazing weather. We are always in awe that it's really winter. 

Thankful for our health. 

Thankful for Harrison, my amazing cheerleader when we work out together. He may be my biggest debater at home yet in public his heart for his momma shines big! Love you buddy!

Thankful for our new venture of homeschooling going well. This is week 3 of Hebert Homeschool for 2 out of 4, and so far so good! We love the new routines and flexibility! 

Thankful for spiritual nourishment this weekend. Some weeks can feel noisy and full - and yet empty. Shame on me! But it's the truth! Other weeks can be noisy yet quiet, full yet peaceful & leave your heart , mind and soul at ease. This weekend was that. It started strong by a foundations Crossfit class . Just 5 of us understanding the whys of Crossfit. Understanding the whys of anything are important and it helped set a reflective mindset. Then we visited a local church to hear fellow Crossfitter and Fittest Man on Earth Rich Fronig share a message. It was inspirational. It gave us pause for reflection. It gave the kids a new to them play place- for the 1st time since March all 3 were in separate classes!  Then our own gathering on Sunday, had our good friend as the guest speaker on zoom, all the way from Toronto. His passion for the truth and his mesmerizing speaking style made for a wonderful Family Bible Hour.

Thankful for Hudson's basketball camp. Having a special needs sporting event, where there are no disclaimers to the coach before hand, there are no wonderings about what crazy phrase your son will say in all innocence, yet with great offense, or what aggression may come or what misunderstanding will ensue. We walk in. He is totally, 100% understood. There is a peace that passes all understanding. That. It's felt. In such big ways and you guys, its so refreshing. SO. His coach had a skin pigmentation that was black and white, and Hudson said, "hey you look like a pig". I died. With embarrassment like wanting to crawl away and just hide. How could he have literally just said that!? In all honesty I got where Hudson was coming from- because of course his skin did look like the pig we saw at the farmers market- but hello?! Saying that to a human is beyond rude on every level!? And that my friends is part of Hudson's dynamic- that missing link to understand social norms. But the coach understood. He knew he was there to love on kids that were made in unique ways, and he laughed, and played and coached Hudson with all his heart. It was the BEST. So. very. thankful. 

Here is our week in pictures

Ohh pickleball! The random sport that is the hit out here! Harrison and Matt are "Booty and the Beast" and just killing it at this Crossfit Pickleball competition! They made it to the semi finals! It is so cool! Friday is the big match! 

That is Ashley, the senior pastor at CCV and Rich Fronig!

He def walked on his hands across the stage and encouraged Pastor Ashley to try it too! Which he did! 

Supper out!

Lulu!

Park Date! Always following big sis!

Our Fab 4. 

And an upgrade to the Hebert home daycare experience for Princess Lulu is her own jumping station! It is SO adorbs to watch her. Her curls bouncing and her sweet voice shrieking. 

XO Have the best blessed week you all! XO

We all love long weekend's am I right? Even if it kicks off with two dental appointments! 

Thankful for sunny days and lots of outdoorsy stuff!

Thankful for new shoes for Lulu!

Thankful for Crafty Hannah! Here is her sparkle tree, which was added to the Costco bouquet and looked oh so pretty.

Thankful for big bro and lil sis time. 

Thankful for a big sis who shares endless patience with lil bro. He read every.single.step of the recipe to her and she so kindly listened and did it in that order and that slowly. #siblinggoals

Thankful for this honey's hiney!

Thankful for Funfetti GF cake made with extra bright pink frosting! So yummy.

Thankful for Friday's Family night! I love that this has become our norm. 

Those smiles say it all. Star Wars chocolate in our bed, with all our attention? 

Thankful for the Exceptional Stars Basketball program! Hudson is able to play sports with a one on one instructor, while on a "team" of friends, in a safe and judgement free zone. Next Saturday is trophy day. The countdown has already begun! It was a beautiful experience. His coach was amazing. His joy level was threw the roof. And yes, this shot went in. 

Happy Valentine's Day! 

So Hannah loves making powerpoints and made me a Valentine one! I LOVED it. She is just the best! But this picture had me dying. Throw back to 2 years ago, Spring Break, when it was a beautiful sunny and windy day. We had no idea how burnt we got until the next morning and I had some serious lip damage making those puckers look oh so voluminous.  Inspiring I know. ;) 

Keeping the smooch on the face tradition alive. 

My best Valentine's! XO

Thoughts for your day!
