Around The Home

September 27, 2016March 28, 2017

I may have said this in my last “Around The Home” post, but Fall REALLY has arrived in Minnesota! Cool temps during the day, leaves are changing and falling, and it is WINDY. Who knew that Minnesota would be so windy? Needless to say, going on bike rides with Mazy is plenty of exercise since our “cart” acts like a parachute.

We were thankful to have a very good report at Mazy’s 18 month appointment! Much to be thankful for. She slept AMAZING last week too (outside of Monday night). She slept through the night completely one night, only woke up once for 2 nights, and then woke up twice 1 one night, but that is a major improvement! Then it went a bit downhill again, but hey, you take what you can get! I tried a few of the suggestions the doctor gave me, and they did not seem to work, but only made it worse, but I am so glad she suggested them! Love my doctor!

Mazy is again, learning new words everyday. She now knows people’s names, can say “Go blue” and “I love you” in her own little language. Really, you can teach her any word as long as it doesn’t have an “l” or “n” in it. Those are two letters that always seem to get missed in words (allow with many more I am sure). Toddler babble never gets old!

One of Mazy’s new-found loves is for stickers. Again, we don’t need a sticker book – mommy’s and Mazy’s faces are just as fun!

I had to get Mazy up for her appointment, and this is how I found her. pants half off, with her legs tugged underneath. She was OUT! Not really my preferred way of sleeping…

You can see the leaves are just starting to turn at the tops of the trees in Prinsburg!

As you know, Mazy is quite obsessed with Daniel Tiger (Danny as she calls it). Well, Dan found a stuffed animal Daniel Tiger that plays some of the sayings from the show, and he couldn’t resist.

And she’s in love:

There were extra cupcakes from youth group (a sweet leader brought them for Dan’s birthday). We knew Mazy would enjoy one! Never thought of licking the cupcake so you don’t get your hands dirty!

Licking it wasn’t really working…

We were walking through the mall and Dan saw the toys in the middle of the mall – I’m telling you, Mazy has her father wrapped around her finger (and I LOVE it). Mazy went for quite a ride to say the least!

LOVE my goofball!

Catchin’ Fish Like Their Goin’ Out of Style

There is something about getting out on the water and catchin’ fish. Unfortunately, up until this night, I had not caught a fish (really the story of my life every summer for the past 2ish years). We headed to Elkorn Lake with the Bloms who also enjoy fishing, and had some great catches! I do…

One Year Anniversary of Living in Minnesota!

If you told us a year ago, that we would be where we are at in life, I probably would have laughed, not believing that God would bring us to the place He has. We sometimes have to sit and reflect we are living in another STATE. This past year HAS. ABSOLUTELY. FLOWN. BY. It…

Around The Home

Have you ever had one of those weeks that has completely flown by, but you wonder what you even did? That was this past week for me, but thankfully I have these pictures to go through to realize that we sure had a lot of fun and we sure did plenty of things. Not that…

Around The Home

This week was a bit more eventful than we planned, but nothing happens without a purpose, and I feel this week has been no different. I have been feeling a bit more symptomatic, but didn’t expect another hospital stay. But thanks to that alarm that went off on my LifeVest, it has shown the doctors…

Take 2: Youth Group Mission Trip

Sharing all that God has done on a mission trip is hard to do, even in a few posts. God shows Himself in ways we never expected, but that is also why we try to not go into mission trips WITH expectations. We try to walk into them with open hearts and minds. One of…

God’s Plan + Our Circumstances = His Perfect Timing

As you may have read in my previous post, Dan’s Uncle Dave had passed away this past weekend. We did not want to miss the visitation or funeral, so we decided to head home Saturday morning. Our trip home became a little more than what we expected, but right when we think we are getting…

My daughter is also obsessed with Daniel Tiger. She calls it "tigie" like Daniel tiger calls his stuffed toy. We only have the free cable so she watches PBS kids.
