Life Lately

Life Lately on a Monday

Happy Monday, y’all! I hope y’all had a great weekend–my maternity leave is flying by and I can’t believe I’m going back to school in 3 weeks 🙁

Since it’s been over a week since my last blog post (I had no idea it had been that long!), I thought I’d do a little life lately to catch up on what all has been going on lately!

Harrison had his 4 year well check last week, and as. you can see, we brought a few Magnatiles to keep him busy while we were waiting. To say we love our pediatrician is an understatement….we are OBSESSED with her! She is the best and has personally called us a few times about certain issues.

Emily Anne, Janie, and me!

Friday the three of us had a park date with all of our kids and I think we stayed and let them play for about 2 hours. It was so much fun and Harrison went to sleep immediately that night haha!

All of the kids together! This wild crew ran and ran until it was time to go.

I’m slowly going through Harrison’s old clothes and washing ones that Banks hasn’t already outgrown–which is a lot already! I bought these TBBC pjs for Harrison before I understood their sizing, so Banks is wearing Christmas pjs in March!

Life Lately

Happy Monday, y’all!! Today is officially the first day of Christmas break and it’s a busy one–it’s Polar Express morning at the local library; I have lunch with some girls from church; Harrison has a dentist appointment; and then my best friend and her family are coming over for dinner!!!

So, grab a cup of coffee and check out our life lately…

Harrison saw Santa and Mrs. Claus one night at the outdoor mall.

Harrison handed out roses to our Hoopcoming Princess nominees at a basketball game one afternoon–he did so great in front of a giant crowd and literally ran each rose to the girl.

Then that night we went to our downtown for the annual Christmas parade and it was fantastic! My grandfather owned the local meat market downtown when I was growing up, so I have the best memories sitting in the bed of his truck that was parked in front of his shop watching the parade. Now the city doesn’t allow cars parked on the street during the parade, but I’m so happy Harrison will grow up with the same memories I will.

We’ve had movies nights this month watching The Grinch and The Polar Express–and that one was Harrison’s favorite!

Hope and I are on our preschool teaching rotation at church and we’ve shown up matching a few times! This morning we were both wearing green dresses and brown boots haha! Hope and I have been friends since we went to the same daycare, and now many years later, we’re at the same church teaching together and in the same small group.

A friend is making these cross-stitch (I think that’s what it is ha) hoops to raise money for their adoption from India, and she made Harrison this train one for his room! I love it and am going to get it framed after Christmas.

Harrison loves getting a sticker from Kroger every time we go. The last time we went inside, the register we went to only had these stickers to give out and I laughed so hard hahaha

We had some flooding from our bathroom one night and it went under the walls and into our bedroom and the closet under the stairs. This is what our bedroom currently looks like right now–minus the fans. We’re waiting to hear back from insurance so we can get trim redone and new carpet laid…..Merry Christmas to us! LOL

Harrison had his Christmas program at his school and it was the sweetest ever!

He and Dustin ran into friends one day at Chick-fil-a while he was off work and I was at school. I got this sweet picture from my friend after Harrison and her daughter saw each other 🙂

And we’ve done some Christmas shopping!!! We were able to pick up a few gifts for Daddy on Saturday while he was at work. I was nervous there would be a million people at the mall, but we got there as soon as they opened and they didn’t get busy until lunch time.

This week we’ve got to do our Shaneyfelt Christmas Light Drive By, visit the Trash Pandas stadium, and watch a few more Christmas movies!

The First Week of School 2022

We made it through the first week of school! I totally jinxed myself when I picked Harrison up on Friday and thought about how awesome it was that Harrison made it through the first week of school not sick–because Saturday after his nap, he woke up with a fever. And here we are Monday morning still fighting a fever. Womp womp…

Here’s to hoping it passes quickly while I’m home taking care of him today. And while we’re watching a movie together, I thought I’d catch up on last week and share it with y’all!

ISN’T HE THE CUTEST?! We were all smiles Monday morning before we left for the first day of school. And I’m actually pretty proud that I got us ready in time to take pictures since Dustin was already at work.

It took a whole lot of convincing to get him to take a picture with me….notice the keychain and camera strap LOL! At his school, the teachers come get the kids out of the car at drop-off so you don’t have to walk them inside. This was the first time Harrison got out of the car and didn’t turn around to wave at me while he walked inside, so I cried the entire drive to my school. Monday was the only day tears were shed and it wasn’t even by my child!

And when I woke up Monday morning and went into the kitchen to make my coffee, I was greeted by a sweet note 🙂

We ended the week celebrating with a visit to our local library! We had some books to return, and Harrison was able to check out 4 more books. His favorite part, though, is picking out a new coloring sheet as he leaves–which is what he wanted to pose with instead of one of the library books we left with :).
