back to pandemic school! despite masks, the girls are so excited for another year of in-person learning with many of the typical-year protocols back in place to resemble a normal school year. we walk a fine line of keeping our kids physically safe while doing our part to maintain their mental health.
and speaking of mental health... after 9 years of full-time momming, a quiet weekday house sounds like the icing on the cake of life. we're all looking forward to this next chapter in our family!
the girls met their teachers earlier this week- betsy has a new kindergarten teacher, eloise is with lucy's teacher from last year [and so proud about it!], and lucy's a big-time 3rd grader down in the basement classrooms!
breakfast with mom on my first morning of freedom!
home to play kindergarten with her babies <3
we spent the last few days of summer vacation taking in quiet time, swimming, eating our favorite foods and digging in the dirt.
and we ended with a literal bang. my [new] car hit a deer right in the middle of the highway while driving at 70mph. the girls and i were all in the car, the airbags deployed, the car smoked out, good people stopped to help, and we walked away alive. jon dropped everything to come take care of us, and while shaken up, we have spent the majority of our energy thanking our guardian angels for keeping us safe in a situation that could have very easily ended with a vastly different outcome.
grateful for our blessings, which are so abundant.
xoxo,
