Random updates

Time got away from me, and somehow I haven't posted any updates for the past month! Usually when that happens it means I've been incredibly busy, but this past month I've actually been super busy RELAXING. What a treat it has been. I've done a ton of baking, read a boatload of books, gone on several walks/hikes, and spent lots of quality time with Mike and Rose.  It's been wonderful! I am definitely counting my blessings as we enter a new year.

Rose has loved all the presents she got during the month and especially on Christmas:

Mike and Rose spent St Nick's day putting together two gingerbread kits - reindeer and a treehouse!

Rose actually opted to accompany me on several walks! I love having her company, even if we go slower and shorter than I would have otherwise chosen :)

We have all been enjoying our cats. One morning I woke up with Ivy and Emily both laying on my outstretched arm. Awwww...

We were blown away by the generosity of family this year. The huge stacks of presents certainly increased our anticipation for Christmas morning, and we have been busy playing with our toys ever since.


 Our chickens started producing fancy eggs ;)

Yesterday (New Year's Eve) I started painting the bathroom. I've been wanting to paint over the wainscotting for a long time, and I finally tackled the project!  It looks so much better now, in my opinion. The only drawback was that I ran out of paint and couldn't also finish my bedroom, so that project will have to wait for another weekend.

Before/during   

After! :)

I had a "helper" for this painting project.

Mike and Rose have been busy doing legos ever since about noon on Christmas day.

I got them "school uniforms" for Christmas :)

(Thanks again, Ben and Heather!!)

I love my beautiful, smart and kind daughter so much!

And one of the best gifts of all was that I got my first dose of the covid vaccine!! Hopefully this horrible pandemic will be behind us soon.


HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!!!!
