My Guitar Player

After two years of lessons, Chloe took two months off this summer. It was a much needed break. She went back to lessons in September and is a completely different player now. Not only does she sound amazing but her confidence is soaring! She is getting ready to do an open mic night in a few weeks and I can’t wait!

Thankful For My Helpers

Yesterday was Veteran’s Day and I had a lot that I wanted to get done around here.

Starting with something big for Jon. He’s been working so much lately that I wanted to make sure when he gets home this weekend he won’t have to clean up the yard.

So, the girls and I spent a few hours raking up all the leaves.

I’m thankful for the help the girls give me around the house when I need it or for watching Lucy whenever I need them to. Like yesterday when I took some time out to go running. I’m thankful that I had another great running partner while Jon was at work.

I’m thankful that I had a few minutes of peace yesterday to sit and have some tea (and that these two found me and kept me company)

I’m also thankful that these two are getting along:

Thankful For Sunday Dinners

We’re at a time in our lives where the kids are even busier then we are. Between after school activities, sports, work, drivers ed and hanging out with friends, my kids are always on the go. That’s why I’m so grateful for family dinners. Even though some nights there are only 5 of us (4 or 3 even) I make it a priority to sit down together every night at dinner. Jon has been traveling a lot lately so when he is home we treasure dinner time even more.

Our thankful tree is growing!! It’s nice to see my girls appreciate even the small things in life and write them down. I hope they always know how blessed they are.

Our Weekend

It was finally nice enough to go to the park!

We spent most of our weekend outside. Jon and I have been walking and hiking a LOT lately!! Yesterday we went in the morning and then again in the afternoon.
