Sunday Scrapbook: Moments from the Week

 


I could write about the length of this four day work week, but alas, this will be faster:

                Anyone else??

                It wasn’t a bad week at all. I just don’t understand how short weeks can feel so long!

                But here’s a peek at some of our short-week fun!

                Last Sunday afternoon, I tried to take a nap but someone wasn’t having it. It’s so hard to be irritated with her when she’s so stinkin’ cute! My favorite part of Sunday? Knowing we had Monday off! 😊

                We had a bunch of home chores to accomplish Monday, which we did, but we also made time for fun together. We got our bikes out (FINALLY!) and took a ride on the trail we love and greatly underutilize. It was the most perfect day for a ride, and I think we did about 12 miles.

                Tuesday, as you already saw, was Mom’s 90th birthday, so we visited her, took flowers and a balloon, and spent some time celebrating her! I’m glad she had a good day and felt pretty good for her holiday!

                I traveled to Goshen (about 2.5 hours away) on Wednesday to attend a funeral visitation, and the church where it was held had its own coffee shop. It felt appropriate to patronize it since it had the kindness to be there when I needed a boost!

                Thursday was quite the ordinary day, which I welcomed. It also came with a very pretty sunrise, which I also welcomed!

                Lexi and I worked from home on Friday and while we worked, we watched all the 9/11 documentaries. Two were new, the rest were familiar, and all of them held stories. We sat with stories and finally fell asleep at the end of a long day.

                We didn’t expect yesterday to be such a rainy day, but it was! That didn’t stop Ryan from spending the entire day power washing the house and cleaning up the outside that had gotten a bit bedraggled-looking over the summer. I decorated the house (inside) for fall, and then we hosted small group at the end of the day! We just did dessert this time – and I kind of cheated on that. Marie Callender pies for the win!
