Some friends of ours moved to NY over the summer. Kaela is one of Adrianna’s best friends and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Hsing-ay over the last couple of years, too. Adrianna and I have missed them so much. So we were excited to hear that they would be visiting this spring. We were […]

Oreo Cake
Adrianna made Bree an Oreo cake for her upcoming birthday. She even made everything (except the oreos themselves) from scratch. We may have to celebrate a day or two early, as we all can’t wait to try it! Doesn’t it look delicious?
Built-in Shelves
Adrianna asked Greg to build her some adjustable shelves in her closet. It’s been a few months in the works, as it included clearing out her entire room so they could paint, too. But the finished result is worth it! They turned out beautifully. Now I am thinking he may need to make ME some […]
Christmas Tree
Put up the Christmas tree this weekend. Greg talked me into getting a real tree this year. I was hesitant. Not only because of the extra work, but also I feel bad that a tree has to be cut down and essentially die for the tradition. But it ended up being an enjoyable time picking […]
Artist of the Month
I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw a drawing that was familiar. That’s Adrianna’s art in the bottom left corner – Artist of the Month at a local library! Funnily enough, the one in the top right corner (which was just a photo copy) was also Adrianna’s! LOL. I believe these were […]
Halloween
We originally had not planned on trick-or-treating this year, making plans for some fun activities as a family at home. (The “Great Pumpkin†visiting and hiding candy being one of them. In part, to make up for the Easter Bunny’s failure to show up in April due to pandemic mental fatigue.) But when I saw […]
Surprise Visit
Two of Adrianna’s friends biked over to our house after school for a surprise visit. She was still in her pajamas when they showed up! Haha! They actually had texted her to let her know of their plan, but she always forgets to check her messages, so that’s why their visit was a surprise! I […]
Quarantine Cuts
Bree and Cate decided they wanted me to cut their hair short (at Adrianna’s encouragement.) They both gave me input as to the lengths they wanted. And here is Adrianna’s cut from September 23rd.
Annual Visit to the Pumpkin Patch
We made our annual visit to a local pumpkin patch. Adrianna was feeling a little sad about not being with friends this time, as the past couple of years we’ve visited with some of her friends. We chose a smaller pumpkin patch and went on a weekday in the hopes that it wouldn’t be too […]
Conference Get-away
Because of COVID-19, the third Evolving Faith conference was virtual this year. To still try to get some semblance of “getting away” to attend, I decided to stay in a local hotel for a couple of nights. Adrianna came with me. We ordered delivery for our meals and she worked on homework (or chatted with […]
