Thanksgiving is over! Now two of the four main holidays of the year (for us) are done- Halloween, Thanksgiving.... just Christmas and New Years are left now. New Years is not technically a big deal in our family, but the whole "fresh year" thing still brings some excitement and is a fun time. I always… Continue reading T-Day 2022 Recap
Yesterday I recorded something I was grateful for, every hour, on the hour. Sharing today in honor of Thanksgiving! I'm grateful..... 06:00..... That our main grocery store is open 24 hours/day, allowing me to go during Asher's 5:30 a.m. swim practice and miss the rush later. 07:00.... for Asher's swim coaches, and the strange hours… Continue reading 24 Hour Gratitude Challenge 2022
This was a nice, variety-filled weekend. Got some things accomplished and had some fun, so, win-win. Saturday- Me + Asher- to early swim practice (7 am) at the farther-away pool, so we left home by 6:30. Forgot my phone at home (grrrr......), so my laptop I brought along to do things on while I waited… Continue reading A late September weekend
Hello! I never got around to hopping on the blog during the last few days, so here's an update on some recent events in my life: Thursday: Ethan got BRACES! Woo!! Such mixed feelings, because of course it's kind of an adolescent rite of passage. It means he's growing up! It also means his smile… Continue reading The last 4 days
This is it- the last day of August. whoa. Not sure how we ended up here, but here we are. To me, this = the "last day of summer", because the boys start SCHOOL tomorrow!! And, in my mind, September is a fall month, anyway. This summer was....something. ha. It was good! But also, a… Continue reading Summer 2022 Recap
Thursday, August 18 After our extremely late night on Wednesday, I was dead to the world Thursday morning until after 9 am. Might have been 10- I can’t remember!! Ivan and Ethan were apparently up by 8 am sitting outside. It was a beautiful morning. I felt somewhat like I had been run over by… Continue reading Valle de Bravo (Day 2) —> CDMX
Wednesday, August 17 On Wednesday we had plans to drive to Valle de Bravo, another small town about an hour and half west this time of Toluca. I was not initially super thrilled about this, not because I didn’t want to go- I did, very much- but our original plan was to go later in… Continue reading Valle de Bravo, Day 1
Sunday, August 14 Sunday was our last day in Tepotzlán- a partial day, really. We didn’t have to check out until 2 pm at least. We had no big plans- as I said, it’s a small town and there isn’t really that much to “do”, exactly. Everyone just took it slow and hung around a… Continue reading Back from Tepotzlán and the laziest day of my life
Nobody moved too fast Saturday morning, since we were all up very late Friday. After showers, etc. some of us slowly made our way upstairs to the terrace, where it was truly a beautiful morning. The pattern seemed to be gorgeous mornings, rainy nights. This was our second morning in Tepoztlán, but for everyone else… Continue reading Family day in Tepoz
Continuing on… (I hope this isn’t too choppy for anyone to follow. I left off Friday afternoon, sitting on the terrace, writing a blog post and enjoying the views.) Just writing as I have time. 🙂 We had three groups of people joining us- #1) Ivan’s cousin, husband and their two little boys (ages 4… Continue reading The rain finally got us… a stormy night in Tepoztlán
