It’s okay if the chores take longer than normal this week.
Q carefully picked a star princess wand. He makes my heart overflow!
Little Q smiles and laughs, throws things when he’s frustrated, and is showing us how helpful he can be, even at almost 21 months.
We can all help prevent suicide.
Glamping last weekend was what this little family needed. No cell service or TV! It was relaxing and wonderful to get away from all the general media negativity, even for a few moonlit nights. We hiked to check out other camping spot options and positively enjoyed being outdoors where it wasn’t our own yard. We …

Today I am thankful. Thankful for my lovely family and that we are healthy.

Adoption #2 Update
We are relieved to hear the baby looks great from the ultrasound and that she’s having a boy!! My husband and I were not going to be picky, but we are thrilled for another baby boy. Ready to expand our family! Well, in July.
Laundry is done, however not put away, little Q is teething and is getting over a cold, the house needs to be vacuumed, and we looked up what needs to be accomplished to renew our passports but didn’t start it. The house still isn’t decluttered, the baby wet through his diaper so his sheets need to be washed again, never got around to planting my potted flowers in the ground for winter, and am unprepared for the holidays.
On the up side. We have heat for the winter, a solid roof over our heads, working vehicles, shoes on our feet, food to eat, and clean water to drink. Everyone is healthy (other than colds), we have beautiful fall weather, are both employed with good jobs, have some incredible family and friends, each other, and an adorable adopted little Q. I had a rare weekend to relax with my precious family and even took a snuggly nap with Q. We are sincerely thankful for everything and everyone in our lives. We are extremely blessed!
