Family Life This Week: Library Night, Birthday Milestones & Baking

Between a night at the library, homeschooling, birthday milestones, and the smell of a new granola recipe, this week has been a sweet mix of normal and special moments! Cozy, rainy days set the backdrop as we marked two big milestones: Dakota turned seven months and Sadie turned seven years old!

There’s been cousin time for Sadie girl, quiet moments spent reading, and candles flickering in the background. Life lately has left me feeling joyful, reflective, and thankful for the ordinary and extraordinary moments! Here’s a look at our life lately 😊

Fall weekend

My weekend was very fall-ish. I loved it.

I started off the weekend by breaking into my house on Friday night. It was pretty awesome. Jimmy and I went out to dinner and my parents had left the house as well and locked the front door. When I got home, I realized that I didn’t have my house key… so I just climbed through the window and Jimmy took my picture. I typically break into my house 4-5 times a year.

On Saturday I went for an 11 mile run on some killer hills. Jimmy and I went to a pumpkin patch/farmer’s market and he carved a punpkin while I (sadly) did homework. Jimmy carved the word “Minecraft” into his pumpkin. It’s a video game. I just laugh at him sometimes. We roasted pumpkin seeds with Old Bay seasoning. I really want to roast them with cinnamon and sugar next time!

Sunday was spent at church and running a 5k. Sunday was also 47* and rainy.Hannah and I at church.

To not make this post drag on forever (and because I have to leave for school soon), I’m going to blog about the 5k in my next post :).

How was your weekend?

Bible verse of the day: Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
