School is knocking on the door! This past week I went to a training for paraprofessionals in preparation for my new job at Mazy’s new school! I am very eager to start and will be working 3 full days a week, which is a perfect fit. This coming week comes more professional development and back-to-school night for Mazy. And next week? Mazy starts school and I start working! Crazy to think summer is coming to a close, but I am ready for routine and some relative consistency. Though the pool won’t be closed any time soon, so hopefully we can spend many hours in there yet!

This past week was quite hot and stormy, which made being outside a bit harder for this heart patient girl, but we are thankful for the cooler weather here in Michigan the past few days. And here’s what our week has looked like:

After some pretty hot temps, Mazy and I headed to some thrift stores where we found some GEMS, like this old school game that I grew up with, circa 1981! You bet we bought it:

Mazy set up a movie night at home with tickets, snacks, and we watched “Inside Out.” Yep, I bawled during it and I even saw Mazy holding back the tears!

Movie time meant snuggle time with daddy and maybe falling asleep…

Love watching this girl bike:

Can’t believe this girl is going to be in 1st grade this year! Couldn’t love that girl more.

Another winter week in the books and another good week at that! We have been highly motivated to do some more house projects, which has been good rehab/therapy for me with all of the movement that is required! I am a clean lines type girl, so I think things looking crisp and clean. Therefore, that…

This week was filled with many different activities and happenings! March is always a busy month and it sure hasn’t disappointed once again, but I really do LOVE this month! Mazy’s birthday, youth group happenings, house projects, you name it! But a fun month! A few little tidbits that I don’t have “in pictures” is…

Well, hello summer! I realize we do not much outside of swimming and being with people! We are camping this week with family and are loving getting out! This is the first thing we have gone to that hasn’t been cancelled! Of course things aren’t like they normally would be at the campground, but it…

So thankful for a wonderful week to celebrate Thanksgiving! Not going to lie, I didn’t really take many pictures because we were just enjoying our time with our families! Nothing earth-shattering happened with the Sterks this week, but here’s a little glimpse at what it looked like! Mazy and I got all decked out for…

School has begun! This past week we tried to live up our last week of summer before school began on Wednesday! It was a scorcher temperature-wise in West Michigan, but it sure didn’t stop us from having fun: We visited Dutch Village (again), which is one of Mazy’s most favorite places. And I’ll admit, it’s…

A pretty normal week, until a surprise snow day on Friday! Apparently it was in the forecast to snow, but I’ve been so glued to the Olympics, that I’m a bit naive to what’s going on around me! So when I checked my phone Friday morning and a friend texted me about enjoying my snow…
