Back to Reality - 1st Week of 2021 was Exhausting!

Guniea Pig Palace is Complete!!!  

We set it up before we wrapped our long holiday break 

Puzzle also completed, thanks to Clint, just in the knick of time!

Monday : Started the new year by preparing for the work week, getting Maci back into distance learning and getting some wellness check Dr apt scheduled for our family.  A fairly normal and busy meeting load start to the week for all of us.

Happy to be Back

Tuesday : Maci was back to her mini hops camp with next week being her last week of doing this since she is back to school in person 5 days a week starting Jan 19 - wahoo!  She is so excited.  Another busy day for Clint and I but nothing out of the ordinary as the 1st week of the year is always hectic.

Wednesday : Today was nuts busy since we have an office in DC and wanted to ensure all our employees were safe.  Thankfully, Clint took Maci to her monthly faith formation at church so I could have a call with our CEO later in the evening and get some prep done for the remainder of the week.

Thursday : Week continued to be pretty hectic and now I was really tired b/c I stayed up with Clint after finishing work Wed to see the end of Bridgerton again, he now watched it!  Since the Harty's got a new dog, we didn't do hot tub night but instead Clint and I went in alone and it was really nice, relaxing and quiet.

Me with the Family Fantasy Football Winning Trophy

Friday : BUSY Friday but lots of good stuff got accomplished!  It was also my dear friend Christi's birthday!  It was fun to make a break in the day to find old pics and wish her well!  After work, the kids got back to gymnastics given a change in the governor's order.  We got home and had some McDonalds before I went on a relaxing 3 mile walk with Tena.  As we went to bed, Clint and I fell into Designated Survivor and it is a great show!

Happy Birthday Christie Girl

Back at the Gym

Saturday : Another somewhat early day or us as Maci is back to soccer which means 8a practice.  Clint ran M to her practice then ran some errands of his own while I got Connor ready for his own soccer at 945a.  Clint then swapped kids and went to Connor's practice while I got laundry and other to dos wrapped around the house.  Once all the kids were home, they played with Fred (Harty's new dog) then ice skated and sled.  I was getting a lot of to dos done in the house and watched football with Clint.  After dinner I took another 3 mile walk with Tena which man it is hard to walk with all that gear on and in the snow, what a work out.  No fire this week so watched more designated survivor and crashed!

Watching TV and starting to have a hand in the waistband thing going 😂

Peaceful Sleepers

Sunday : More football and a lot of work prep!  The kids are building with legos while Clint and I are watching football and getting some things done in the background.  I'm looking forward to a long day on the couch with hopefully a great plan for the week ahead.

We hope you all are transitioning well into 2021 and while it may be tiring right now, knowing it has to be better than the year prior ❤️💕 

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
