Sunday we went to church. Marc was the speaker, and yes he wore his mask while he spoke. I managed our three small humans on the church pew. Levi’s entertainment included escaping to the ground and then speed crawling several rows behind us to make a made dash to the door. Ruby was quite miffed … Continue reading Texas week 8

Sunday we were able to go to church again! The girls lasted no more than 15 minutes till Ruby needed to go to the bathroom. And the bathrooms are closed at the church building, so Marc took Ruby, and Hazel who quickly jumped on that band wagon, home to use the bathroom. I was made … Continue reading Texas week 6

Sunday morning we went for a walk at Hewitt Park. It has a fantastic 1/2 mile paved loop. With no church and no family to visit it’s critical that we (read “critical for the mom”) get some movement and fresh air. Taking care of our mental health is a real thing at our house, and … Continue reading Texas week 5

We got to go to church!! Which is a pretty big deal because thanks to COVID church everywhere has been closed since the beginning of March. It was fun to get everyone up and ready.

We had our first Texas with church at home. It was short and sweet like most weeks and we played, colored, and napped hard. By late afternoon, when we typically would go visit some family but with no family to go visit, we were getting pretty held up in the four walls of the family … Continue reading Texas week 3

June 14th, Levi’s actual birthday, we left bright and early Texas bound. Marc and Papa Kerry drove the moving truck towing Marc’s car behind. And Papa Tucker and I had all the babies, and most of the snacks, in the mini van. Me, my mom, and Maddi stayed up packing car essentials the night before. … Continue reading Texas week 1

With the move literally at the end of the week I remembered that Levi and Hazel’s birthdays were right after we moved, and we would have no friends to celebrate with. So we decided to shove a combined birthday party in the mix of our last week. Few people take as much joy in being … Continue reading Quarantine week 13

Monday at 3:04 am I already finished my workout for the day. I can’t sleep. (For the last several days) My mind raises in bed, I have pressure in my heart, and when I do finally sleep or nap I have anxiety driven, restless sleep. So when Hazel came in my room at 2 am, … Continue reading Quarantine Week 12
