Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is shining brightly in my corner of the Fort. No snow or weather of any kind for that matter graced us for the holiday. Even though it's not cold a pot of chili is bubbling as Amanda has missed home cooking. What did we do this week? Serra has been enjoying the time off with sleep, Animal Crossing on the Switch and time with friends. She has also enjoyed invading Amanda's personal space. Another round of hair dye has taken her from a great purple to black which does disguise its growth better than the blonde a few months ago did. Amanda finished her last final Monday morning and packed up for the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is dark, early and cold in my little corner of the Fort. Waking up at 4 am and being unable to go back to sleep is not how I like to spend Sunday mornings. Simply one of those things that is out of my control, so I try not to fight it too much and enjoy the extra awake hours. One good thing about being up early most days are sights like this. What did we do this week? Serra finished up classes Thursday and has already been enjoying sleeping in and having more time for Animal Crossing. She has also been helping me get the house ready to host Eve this week. Last night we got to...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! This is one of those mornings where it would be much cozier to stay in bed. Trouble is when my brain kicks on with the laundry list of things that need to get done today it's hard to stay snuggled in. Instead, I am awake and wrapped in my favorite squishy pashmina blanket. This week! What did we do? Serra is slowly but surely wrapping up this first semester of school. In some ways it feels like this time between Thanksgiving and Winter Break has been longer than the other portion! She played in Fossil's holiday concert Wednesday, and I have to say that it was one of the best ones I have attended over...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It looks cold and blustery with the wind whipping in the remaining fall leaves around on the patio. I haven't risked poking out my bare toes yet to see just how chilly it is. I do know that having lunch out on a patio in December as I did this last week is very unusual! How was the week? The calendar has turned to December even though the weather disagrees. Serra had a quiet week and I believe is simply counting down the days left of math class. Only ten more to go. This week we have her holiday concert to attend. Amanda is climbing onboard the snowball that is beginning to roll down the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is bright and the sky is clear outside my window today as I watch a squirrel bounce from branch to branch in the tree across the parking lot. He shows no fear as the limbs sway when he hits it, riding the wave until it calms. I don't know what treats he's finding as he climbs higher in the bare branches, stretching to the very end of the limbs but he looks happy. What did we do this past week? Holidays always throw things off a bit and Wednesday felt like Saturday. An unexpected visit from Daddy for a few days also made me lose track of time. Serra got her wish of...
