Moments to Capture

Scott and I are stepping out of our rut when we can. We did some late swims at the pool before it closed.

Got some new furniture that is a game changer and were able to bless Andrea with the old sectional which miraculously fit into her house.

We went to Lincoln to see Garth Brooks. It was scary due to covid and the crowds and a big pain in the ass but a special and fun time.

Wilson is both a joy and a challenge. He is calming down some and turning into the cuddly companion I dreamt of. But he is highly dog reactive and a naughty boy at home. Some pretty huge stressful moments. We are very grateful for Mutt school and for our friend Kathy who babysits him several times per week. I think he will be a good therapy dog when we get there from here.

Some really special memories with the grandkids lately, mostly over facetime although we love going there to see them in their new house and we can actually stay over now. The other day Emmet casually popped off some math that blew Leah and my minds. He could answer what age he will be when Henry is a certain age and also the flip. We asked him when Henry is 8, how old will you be? He answered correctly every time.

Yesterday’s conversation with Henry. “We took a shower, Emmet is taking a real shower.” Then “I look out and see the sun goes down and then I see the stars and the moon. I want stars and planets for my birthday.” Then, “I thinking I come to your house Gwamma.” I reminded him that Wilson is big and he said, “Yeah, I get nervous around dogs.” Emmet is 5 1/2, Henry 3 1/2 and Eleanor is turning one this weekend. Last week on FaceTime when Eleanor saw my face, she walked toward the phone with her arms out. I love them so much.

The coffee shop is doing really well, lots of cool things, partnerships with Ethos, Therapie, MCC, 9 rounds and more, cool events, music tonight, yoga. We had our one year anniversary.

Natalie, Homestead graduate and friend lived here for the summer which was fun and a bit of a wild ride. She moved home and got married and we are happy for her.

Mom is hanging in there but fading fast. Lots of medical appointments and trying to put help in place for her. Trying to treasure every moment we have.

The practice is busy busy. Working to find balance. Just took on 4 new clients and feel overwhelmed but I really like doing this.

Missing my brother and Julie. It was her birthday yesterday.
