Back to Life.. Back to Reality

After months of this crazy pandemic world, we are finally getting back to what feels more normal for our house.  We love being together and having time at home but our family really enjoys being involved in other things as well and it feels so good to finally be able to add class schedules and ball games and school assignments to my planner.

The girls have absolutely loved being at school.  There are a ton of changes and precautions being taken but their teachers and staff have done a really great job at making school as normal as possible.  The girls come home chatting every single day about how great and wonderful it is and all the fun they are having with their friends and teachers.  If we questioned our decision to send them back to traditional school at all, their giddiness definitely makes it all worth it.  We celebrated a great first week with pizza and movie night at home with my parents.

Jarrod and I snuck away for a night with our friends to Ross Bridge.  The boys golfed while we lounged by the pool and got massages at the spa.  It was a really nice little get away that we both enjoyed.

We are back in full swing at the ball field with the Lollipops.  HC is really loving this season and is doing so great.  It's really been a lot of fun so far coaching and cheering in this little group of girls.

We enjoyed some time by the pool biking and walking at our local green way on the weekends.  It is best little shaded trail with a creek.  The girls thought it was great to get in and walk on the rocks and skip some rocks.

And the girls got to start back to dance as well!  Hadley is doing competition team this year so it's a little but more commitment for her and a few more hours spending at the dance studio.  She is really excited about it and I am really proud of how hard she has been working for it.

It's really been a great few weeks getting back to normal and we are all loving it! It's amazing what a little normalcy can do to our moods and energy and just all the good things that come with our comfortable routines! We are so thankful for these days and definitely have a new appreciation for them!
