I Got a New Camera!

I am going to try and post more than every six months this year and keep a more accurate journal of our VERY exciting life. Our Christmas was lovely and we did most of it on CRAIGSLIST! We found some really great things too.
 Audrey now thinks she is Taylor Swift, unfortunately I'm pretty sure this is a left handed guitar. Who knew they made left handed guitars?! That's what we get for trying to be frugal!
 Brandon loves his Buzz motorcycle.
 Brandon got this awesome train set that he loves playing with
 Audrey got MAKE-UP so Christmas was a success in her book
 Hello, Handsome - there is something I need to tell you all about Pete...
 He has to work really hard not to look like this all the time. So if he seems grouchy it's because it's hard work. We appreciate your efforts my love.
 This was our huge score on Craigslist and Audrey's dream come true. It looks brand new and she spends most of her day in it. Seriously though, how cute is that thing?!
Oh my gosh, look at that sweet face. I can't get enough of her. It was a very merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
