I loved spending time with Jack (and Harry!) in the evening, and I love having an excuse to watch that dumb show (I LOVE IT).
We celebrated the end of an XL season (100 days in the house!!) with an XL sushi order and 2 bags of Reese’s PB trees. #sorrynotsorry.
I am so overcome with gratitude for this season of life. An adorable preschooler
Sporty Spice
And 2 sweet, wonderful teens
Jack and I had this experience the other week:
into National Honor Society (the school auditorium (and most of the rest of the place) has been under construction for a YEAR).
We are so proud of him.
Oh! One more thing I am SO GRATEFUL FOR! My online class for next semester that I have been working SO HARD on all semester? Filled up within hours of enrollment opening. So I added 10 seats. AND THOSE FILLED! So I added 5 more. AND THOSE FILLED, too!!! I am so so so happy that something I think sounds amazing also appeals to students. And soooo relieved. I was worried enrollment would begin and **crickets.**
Cheers to another week of chaos and delight, friends!
I don't know where to begin with the congratulations... Congratulations all round!! The picture of you and Jack is extra special! Didn't Jack go tot he Clint Smith Big Read too? What a reader! (And the fully enrolled class--sweeet!!)
ReplyDeleteHe DID go with me last year too. Harry went a couple of times when he could still stand to be in public with me also LOL
DeleteThis is all so great, congrats to those amazing teens of yours! (what is XL?) I love it all. I also will say that my older son worked a lot of shift work last year and it helped a lot with the transition to having him at school. It's a big transition obviously but it does help a lot to take those steps.
ReplyDeleteExtra large :)
DeleteThis post made me feel so happy!!! You have such a wonderful, beautiful family! And your work sounds so fulfilling and fascinating! Thank you for sharing your joy with us -- it is super infectious.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteAh we like BB too (not so much my teen, but for my husband and I its a guilty pleasure)! My teen loves Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, and we went back and started from episode 1 and just finished Big Bang, now starting that for Young Sheldon. It's been a fun way to connect!
ReplyDeleteTV is really good bonding
DeleteYay! My dad and I used to watch Big Brother, but I haven't watched in YEARS. It's such a big time commitment. Yay for happy family times!
ReplyDeleteIt’s like a part time job LOL
DeleteCongrats. It is amazing that your class filled up not one, not twice but three times. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you mentioned it at some point but I cant't remember. What are you teaching?
Also Sushi nights are good nights.
It’s a class called rhetoric of reproductive justice
DeleteI'm actively reminding Eli that he can still live at home after graduation. For all my bluster, I'm not ready!
ReplyDeleteAw, this is so sweet! You really do have it all right now. Do you know yet where Harry will be next year?
ReplyDeleteI love your week of "chaos and delight." It's the perfect description!
He has been admitted to 7/8 schools and is waiting on UW. Plus he might apply to one more place that guarantees med school admission after undergrad…
DeleteI love to see people enjoying their life right where they are. You're in a great spot right now.
ReplyDeleteIt’s rare that I can stop complaining and enjoy it
DeleteAwww, you have an awesome bunch! So much to be thankful for!
ReplyDeleteBIG BROTHER! It’s such a commitment to watch that show, haha. But I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for!
LOL - this is Stephany. I’m commenting from my phone.
DeleteThis post made me so happy. I love it when people take such delight in their families - and when they enjoy spending time with them. <3
