Making Cookies

Day 31/366
I was feeling a little better today and made some cookies to share at a family gathering. You can't go wrong with chocolate chip cookies!

Day to Rest

Day 30/366
Jevin, Enavi and I are all sick, which meant a day of rest. We binge watched the series Encore on Disney+, drank lots of water and moved very little. Davin came home from work and made us all chicken noodle soup, which made us all feel a bit better.

There wasn't much energy for picture taking, but even when you're sick, there's still dishes to wash. There's *always* dishes to wash!

Urgent Care

Day 29/365
We went to urgent care this afternoon to get Enavi checked out. This fever is persistent and she's still feeling very sick. The doctor ran a rapid strep culture, which came back negative. She probably has influenza - the one year we didn't get flu shots. Ugh. Now Jevin and I are starting to come down with the same thing. At least Davin got his flu shot, so he should be safe from the rest of us.

Another Sick Day

Day 28/365
Day 3 of fever, sore throat, cough and runny nose. You know she's really sick when she doesn't even feel like reading.

Breaking Boards

Day 27/365
Jevin earned a new belt tonight - his half-black belt (which he is wearing in the picture). I attended the class so that I could watch him receive his new belt, and stayed to watch him in his role as assistant instructor. The students practiced breaking boards and I love the look of determination on this girl's face! She was ready to give it her all and Jevin did a great job coaching her through it. The next belt is the big one and he is already working on achieving his black belt.

Mittens for Mom

Day 26/365
I made these mittens for my mom with yarn she dyed last summer at a class that Carrie, Enavi, my mom and I took at The Cat and Crow in Mt. Horeb. I hadn't made mittens before, and they were pretty quick and easy, but also very cozy. I gave them to Mom this afternoon and she loved them. I hope they keep her nice and toasty all winter long.

Birthday Do-Over

Day 25/365
Since I was sick on my birthday, I got a do-over birthday weekend! Today we celebrated with sushi and fondue. It was the first time the kids had fondue in a restaurant and it was a big hit. Tomorrow I get to celebrate with my mom and dad and Carrie. These guys sure know how to make a girl feel special.
