Life Lately

Life lately feels like one big blur, but I suppose that is my new normal for now.  Everything feels so different, yet our day to day activities have remained the same.  Without my three little girls, I don't know what kind of shape I would be in right now.  They sure are my saving grace.  They keep me going most days.  Nothing too exciting going on here....school, preschool, work, gymnastics, dance. The usual.

Shopkins fun

Happiest.  Baby.  Ever.  

Sweet Cora B started ballet and jazz a couple weeks ago!  She did ballet and tap a while back, but was excited to start up dance again, and this time explore jazz.

Sonoma cut 3 inches off her hair!  

Sonoma also had her very first sleepover 2 weeks ago.  It was at a  special friend and neighbor's house, and although I was very nervous to go through with giving her the approval, I am glad I did.  She had a wonderful time and there were no issues!

Baby doll obsessed

Wacky Wednesday at preschool

I was driving last week and did a u-turn and stopped on the side of the road when I saw the Eagle was back at the nest.  Dad and I started watching this nest after it was built almost 3 years ago.  The same strong nest is still up there and Dad always asked me about it.

Beach Day!

Cora started gymnastics again!  Marcus has been taking her since it is on the weekends. 

 Last weekend was my Mom's 60th birthday.  Blakesley and I drove to Indianapolis, picked up my sister, then drove the rest of the way to Bloomington so we could be together to celebrate Mom.  We went out to dinner & breakfast, and had a nice time all being together.

We went to visit Great Grandpa.  This is my new favorite picture!

Happy 60th  Birthday, Mom!  

Visiting with Aunt Janet!  We broke up the trip and stopped both ways at Aunt Janet and Uncle Jordan's house.  

  While Blakesley and I were away in Bloomington, Daddy, Sonoma and Cora had a special time together.  Cora had been begging to do a sleepover with Daddy ever since Sonoma had her 1st sleepover, so the three of them had a sleepover together in the playroom!  They also went to the movies and saw Moana, had dinner at Hardware, went to church, and did all of the grocery shopping at Costco! I came home Sunday night to a clean house, laundry done, and a warm meal on the table!  I was so grateful.  Thank you, Marcus!

Movies!

Daddy slept in the middle of the girls!  Such a fun Daddy!

Dinner at Hardware

Playing Pie Face!

My Dad LOVED his Jeep and kept the cleanest cars I've ever seen.  My Sister and I had a good time going through his Jeep and we also took some good pictures in it.  

I cannot wait for this dreary month to be over.  I am looking forward to what February will bring.  Hopefully a little peace and some sunshine.
