Ordinary life

After spending the last year searching for jobs, houses, and traveling back and forth...a lot, I am LOVING our plain ol' ordinary days. I even took a two week break from unpacking just to soak up some "normalcy".  Our days are spent with school, work, coupon clipping, grocery shopping, laundry folding, and even an occasional nap.  

I am loving the nice weather and our new backyard. There's so much room for energetic boys to skip, run, hop, and ride scooters/skateboards/bikes!  I need to start doing research and figure out what I'm going to plant in our garden.  I'm told I can plant peas in February!

Several neighbor kids have been coming over to play Nerf dart tag after school. 

 Todd is extremely busy with work.  He currently has 16 kids on his caseload, in addition to being the equine therapist and doing all the horse sessions on the ranch.  He is working to build a private practice in the evenings, and has a few clients then as well.  I am so grateful for his education, and all the work he does to provide for our family.   Oh, how I love living under one roof again!

As soon as we knock out a wall and extend my quilting studio, I will start quilting.  It's so different to have just one kid at home all day.  When Brayden was six weeks old I started doing daycare at home, so I've never really been in this position before.  Justin and I are having fun grocery shopping (so many choices here!), taking walks, and figuring out our new "groove".  We were at DI when it opened the other day.  I can now cross that off my bucket list.  If you've never done it, you should.  It's not as bad as Black Friday, but still good for some laughs.

Todd and Justin hard at work on their laptops.  Like father, like son.

This is a video that I caught when the kids weren't looking.  They're singing our new favorite song.  It was even requested for Family Home Evening this past Monday.  You may recognize it from my previous post.
