Or afternoon.
It’s day 4 of VBS week, which means it’s back to school night for the kids. Time to find out who their teachers are, drop off the supplies, and in the case of Shecklet #4, get an idea as to what the building looks like. All four Shecklets will be at the same school and on why same schedule for the next three years. Yeah for that!
My SIL got married today!
I didn’t take many pictures – just enjoyed the evening.
The picture of Jake above was taken by his aunt 🙂 I love his zest for life!
ETA: We didn’t get a picture of just the two of us looking spiffy last night, so we took a “day after the wedding” photo instead. We did get a couple of family pictures that I’m hoping turned out well. Fingers crossed!
ETA 12/21/18 – Here’s a family photo from the day. Don’t we clean up well??
Time flies.
Usually I say that when referring to my kids and how fast they’re growing and changing. This time though, I’m saying it about me. Six months ago today, I was in the middle of a life-changing (life-saving) surgery. A lot has happened in a short amount of time and every day when I wake up, I’m thankful for the gift of continued recovery.

We celebrated with 6-month post-op ice cream cones tonight!
We spent the day at Jake’s parents’ cabin today. Sun was out, wind was a tad breezy (read: cool,) but comfortable weather overall. Shecklet #3 brought her hammock and we took turns swinging in it.
There was also lots of swimming, kayaking, hotdogs on the fire and s’mores for dessert!
We went to Jake’s parents’ house today to see Uncle Jason and play outside. The guys made use of the paintballs and play house as they’ve done in the past.
Shecklet #2 has been at b-ball camp this week. As a mini treat for the other 3, we stopped for donuts after dropping #2 off for his last day.
Shecklet #1 is on a week-long trip with his grandparents visiting his uncle and aunt in NV as well as seeing some additional sites in CA and AZ. He’s been taking lots of pictures and enjoying seeing a different part of the country. We’re looking forward to hearing more about his travels when he gets home.
Day 2 of summer break. Time to go through papers and projects from the school year. It is so much easier now that the kids can do the initial sort on their own. Then mom has an easier time with round two.
