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.

    Whew! The school year is complete! We could not be more proud of all Mazy has accomplished in every aspect. It was not an easy year due to covid quarantines, the anxieties of knowing mommy wasn’t always feeling well or was gone, but she triumphed through it all! We couldn’t be more thankful for her…

We have stepped outside to enjoy the nice weather this week too, but when we can, we watch the world come together for these few weeks, and for the most part, put aside our differences, which we love! Here’s…

    Oh what fun the snow has been! We spent plenty of time outside this past week, enjoying every snowflake we could…even eating a few! Yes, I still have this child-ish side of me! We spent a lot of time at home this past week, which of course isn’t a bad thing, but that meant we…

    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…

    Almost every night, after Mazy has gone to bed, Dan and I look at each other and say “we love this house…” or say something that we are happy about with our home. We just sit in awe that THIS IS OUR HOME! And then to have a pool in the backyard? Yes, it is…

    Mazy was counting down the days until Halloween! This is a girl who spends every day dressing up, pretending, imagining, and now she actually had an EXCUSE to dress up! Not that she should ever have to have an excuse to be a kid, but the idea of walking around in a costume all day,…
