The Week of Visitors & Oktoberfest

Images from our fall family walk last Sunday night

Monday :

  • Connor and I started listening to his Spanish audio clips on the drive to school
Tuesday
  • My co-worker Kate was in town from Chicago which was a nice treat!
  • She came to our house for dinner and the kids loved entertaining her

Wednesday:
  • I was feeling really behind on work so I went into the office at 630a to get rolling
  • At 9a I got a call that turned my entire day and week upside down, one of our MN based employees committed suicide Tuesday night.  The family was open with us sharing the reason for death to use it as a way to help others - HR, legal, leaders all rallied together and planned for how to share the news, how to ensure his family was taken care of etc.  It was an emotional day for sure.
  • My cousin John was in town for work and even though I was exhausted, drained and drastically behind on work, I kept our plans to meet up because this moment made me realize just how much you need to live for the day and see your loved ones.  It was so great to have dinner and catch up with John.
  • Clint took care of getting M to and from religion class and then played some golden tee with John while I headed to bed.


Thursday
  • I worked from home due to a Trump rally tying up all of downtown
  • Clint worked a 1/2 day and went golfing with a neighbor at Medina - got to fit it in before the bad weather comes for good
  • I hosted a happy hour at our house of some of my fav former co-workers at Cargill - another reminder of how blessed I am and the work will be there the next day - so many good laughs!
Friday : 
  • Another work from home day for me and trying like crazy to get caught up
  • Ran to get the kids around 430p for gymnastics fun and Clint met us there
  • We headed to El Azteca for dinner again - yum!
  • Went home and had family movie night - the new Aladdin but M crashed on the couch early
Saturday : 
  • M had soccer and the whole fam went
  • Grabbed some lunch then headed home for "to dos" around the house
  • The weather sure took a turn and it is about 30 to 40 outside BRRRR
  • Clint and I got ready to head to the Verplank's Oktoberfest and Mara came to watch the kids
  • We had fun catching up with our former neighbors and some of our summer cabin/camping friends

Sunday :
  • We had a good sleep in day which was needed for so many of us!
  • Clint and M went to get donuts for breakfast 
  • We are now all watching football and getting ready for the week 
  • Tyce just picked up M and C to play outside even though BRRR - but they are kids and have coats 
We hope you all have a wonderfully relaxing Sunday!  We have a fun week ahead with Connor's daycare closed tomorrow so Clint is taking the day with him and then Maci has no school Thurs-Fri but she will go to homebase on Thursday and then hang with me as I am taking the day off Friday!

Lots of Love, 
C, K, M & C
