My days are full of mom-life, IVF appointments, renovations, and business responsibilities! I’m finding so much joy in our fitness community! Our virtual Fit Camp has been so committed to results & accountability and it’s really been so much fun. I’ve been choosing our Home Chef dinners with my meal plan in mind & have really loved having that easy solution for home-cooked meals for a while now. We have been expanding Roux’s dinner options & really encouraging him by giving him a small portion of our family meal & adding a few familiar items we know he loves to his plate [raw veggies/fruit/or maybe a couple of chicken nuggets]. Our renovation plans have required a lot of us. Every week we are either meet or submit requests for revisions. We are coordinating tile deliveries & demo start dates. We are excited to get this going as it’s been over a year in the planning phase. A few things I have been loving lately….
Roux
His days are full with half days at VPK. He’s been loving reviewing his letters every week and practicing writing out his letters. He just had his mid-year VPK review & is excelling in all areas. We have been working on mazes, extra letter writing, and logic puzzles in the evening and on the weekends. He is still enjoying a few hours with his bestie babysitter every afternoon while I work. They do all kinds of fun things together: park, imaginative play, board games, sensory bins, and craft projects I find for him to do. His swim lessons are over for the “colder seasons” and we are deep into tee-ball now. We practice once a week & have games on Saturdays. Daddy is the coach & he loves all the friends on his team. He looks forward to it so much! His school does a Halloween parade where all the kids get to choose an animal to dress up as. Last year he was a leopard & this year, he chose to be a shark. We are looking forward to that school performance next week! A few things he’s been loving lately….
Loren
Has been busy with all types of projects and future endeavors for our family. I’ll have to keep it broad for now – but he’s been busy & doing so much! He is so happy to be recovered enough for regular workouts [knee and shoulder surgery recovery were both very slow]. He’s been meeting up with some guy friends at our house weekly to work out early in the morning & I know that is a huge part of who he is, so I’m so happy for him. As we mentioned already – he is coaching Roux’s tee-ball team and is just so much fun. He is silly while also doing a great job of teaching these little guys some fundamentals of the sport. He’s a very committed coach & is really enjoying this season of life with Roux! He is helping so much with coordinating these bathroom renovations on top of the usual maintenance of our home! You know, all the things! In case you want some early ideas for Christmas shopping for the guy in your life here are some of his favs lately…
