Trying to get back on track now, so this will only be two weeks, but we are doing our best! It has been a good two weeks for us...and I just want to say...I had the blog typed a lot earlier than it was posted! So I will not take the credit for it being posted late.
Week 33: February 28th - March 6th
This was a long week for me, never a ton of fun, but they really do go very fast and I got a ton of stuff done! After inventory there is always a ton of stuff to do that has been ignored. Monday was a short day, so Amelia was home with Pam. I got home at 6:30, we had french onion swiss steak with mashed potatoes and corn, then we got to read her new book! She is enrolled in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, so she gets new books every now and then in the mail, which is super fun! This time she got the book "Where Is Your Nose?" which is so incredibly appropriate for her right now! After she went to bed we spent some time ordering different items that she needed for the next phase and for vacation.
Tuesday was a normal day for our family. Mom was off work for this week after her rough week the week before, so she helped us out on Wednesday when we had our tax appointment. After that, we had a nice, relaxing day! We ate garlic lovers chicken and amish noodles for dinner, I also spent some time preparing a casserole for the next night. Thursday was nice and relaxing because Jonathan had a short band, so we had the evening together! Mom and Dad even stopped by to say hi and brought us some of our meat!
My long weekend is always long, but it was made a little better! Mom had a doctor's appointment when Shem and Karah got in town, so they came to see me Friday night. Jonathan had a late interview after work, but it went really well, so that was helpful! Amelia just hung out at Faith's for a little longer! Jonathan worked in the apartment a little bit after Amelia went to bed.
On Saturday, Jonathan took Amelia to his parents for making syrup. It was a beautiful day, so they had a good time! She didn't get a lot of sleep, but we toughed it out. Mom, Dad, Shem and Karah came over to visit for a little bit and Amelia really showed off! She was being such a ham and just adored Karah. She even did all the motions for "Where Is Your Nose" which we got on Monday! So that was awesome!
Sunday is our relaxing day, ideally. Sometimes that gets difficult, but we try! We had fajitas after I got home for dinner and enjoyed some time as a family before Jonathan went out for work.
March 7th - March 13th
Jonathan had a great trip to Celina! He hung out with Dillon on Monday night while Amelia and I were enjoying a day together. We went to Aunt Mabel's with the fam for breakfast - which was delicious. After that we wrapped meat, then Mom, Amelia and I went up to Alliance. Amelia and Mom hung out with Grandma and Grandpa while I went grocery and clothes shopping. I had a good trip and they had a good trip, it was all good! In the evening, Amelia and I went over to see them a little bit, then we came home and relaxed for a little while. When Amelia went to bed I did some reading, some continuing education and got a few other things completed. I just enjoyed relaxing!
Tuesday Jonathan got a raise, so that was awesome! Then he came home, picked the baby up at Mom and Dad's and brought her home. I worked and had to do employee reviews, which is always another task! On Wednesday we finally got to spend some time as a family! It was a wonderful day with wonderful time together. We organized the freezer and the kitchen, spent some time together and had ham fried rice for dinner. It was a good day.
On Thursday my boss visited work and I got a raise, so we had a great financial week if nothing else! We had a virtual meeting with Charlie and ate leftovers for dinner. Friday was another short day for me and decided to go to diner afterward! It was delicious and a blast and we enjoyed every minute of it. Amelia did great and ate a ton.
Our weekend was a lot of fun. We actually got to be together and hang out, which was a complete win! I cooked a ton, but it was definitely worth it. On Saturday we had baked oatmeal, tater tot casserole and dairyland confetti chicken. We worked on the bathroom a little bit and then played SushiGo and watched "A Few Good Men" after Amelia went to bed! Sunday was another relaxing day for Amelia and I and Jonathan went shopping with Dad for the apartment after church. Amelia and I relaxed at home, I even got a little nap! We had polish burgers and pizza rolls with Mom and Dad for dinner, then spent the evening at home together!
Not a very exciting two weeks, but that is kind of the way we like it! Hope you are all staying warm but also enjoying spring...depending on the day! We are enjoying the nice weather we are having at the moment!
Love,
Allison, Jonathan and Amelia
