What a great fun-filled week! My sister moved home as she will now spend her time here and there in Portland which also means MORE AUNTIE TIME!!! We took the kids to TCBY (fun-fact: TCBY was my first job) to celebrate their bravery as they attended their first campus classes at Mp3. Both kids have a writing and science class and so far seem to enjoy the classes. I have really appreciated the structure at Mp3 and look forward to the friendships made this year spending time on campus.
The potty training is stagnant and has turned into potty parties of reading books about going potty, but no success on the potty. If you have been anywhere near the Dutch Mall recently, you'll notice busy bees at work painting, trimming and assembling the final touches for the Elements office space. Even the interior is getting a fresh coat of paint and roofs replaced to make everything feel newer and CLEAN! The place looks loved again!
Tim had work in Nebraska this weekend and I managed to find a race at the same time to check off another state race on my journey to running in all 50 states. It was the smallest race I've ever participated in too! You can read more over at

The kids thoroughly enjoyed their time with Auntie and sleepovers at Papa and Nana's when we were away. Papa needs to rush the potty training as he struggled with the diapers but all kids were returned home clean, happy and tired from all the fun. We are blessed to have family and friends to make such fun memories!
On Sunday we celebrated Addison's 10th birthday! It was horrible being away from her but the party before, gifts in the morning and day after daddy dates made up for us not being home.
