It seemsContinue reading “Week 129: It’s November!”
Week 128: Last Week of October
We had another super quiet week at home. Matt and I are both taking it easy on our eyes and not running around too much. Matt had his second follow up after Lasik and his vision is now at 160%.

Week 126: Krautfest & Lasik #1
We had a nice, easy going week at home. Matt and I are both getting Lasik, and I went first this week.

My appointment was at 2pmContinue reading “Week 126: Krautfest & Lasik #1”

Week 121: Kicking off Fest Season & a Visitor!
We had a busy week at home! Brooklyn had tennis every day, Girl Scouts, and piano lessons. Ryan had Boy Scouts and started baseball. Matt worked a couple of days at the school and work was super busy for me. It’s September, so that means it’s also the start of ‘fest season.’ On Friday, myContinue reading “Week 121: Kicking off Fest Season & a Visitor!”
Weeks 115 & 116: Two Weeks at Home!
We have spent another (almost) two weeks at home, which hasn’t happened in who knows when, maybe May?
