June 30 - July 6, 2025

Katie: Katie is full crawling this week! She is getting fast and can go across the room on her own. She has gotten stuck under the bed in the playroom and under the couch. She keeps pulling herself up onto her knees. Katie had a good time playing in the sand at Tahoe. I was able to keep her from eating it this time. The Durocher's liked giving Katie stuffed animals when she was at their house because she would grab them and try to eat them. Katie liked taking over Mary's lollipop at the parade.
Mary: Mary loved going to the beach at Lake Tahoe. She played with Lizzy (7 yo) and the kids that were camped out on either side of us. She loves playing with the slime she made at the library. She was not sure about the parade on Friday. She liked getting the toys and candy but didn't like the loudness or getting sprayed with water. She would see a car coming where they were squirting water and run to the sidewalk. “My toy, it’s losing” (losing =missing). We Facetimed Hannah with Addie and Miles, and Wendy with Elaine this week and Mary was much better at talking on the phone and more outgoing. She was excited to show everyone her toys.
Mom: I tried the paddleboard for the first time at Lake Tahoe. Christa was nice enough to let me take one of hers out for a spin. I updated my glasses prescription on Tuesday. I'm still writing the screenplay for Uprooted, I'm about 1/3 through the book. I had to return my library book but I bought it, so I'm just waiting for the physical copy to get here. I've done well with practicing violin this week. I've been discouraged about my body even though I did well with exercising everyday so Dad has helped me set up an account with Lose it! to keep track of my calories and macros.
Dad: Dad has been excited about tracking calories and macros. Work is still giving him grief and he's thinking of biting the bullet and applying to work other places but he will talk to his boss this next week and see if some of the problems can be fixed. We're looking into ways to have some passive income to supplement his salary and hopefully ease some of his stress. He was surprised when I told him about my screenplay passion project but didn't shoot it down, so that's good.
This week's activities: Monday we went to Tahoe with Christa Seamons and her kids. Tuesday the girls went to the Durocher's for an hour while I went to get my eyes checked out. Thursday we went to the library where Mary got to make slime and a bouncy ball. That night we went to Reno and got Outback for dinner because we had a gift card but then we forgot to use it. Then we went to Costco. Friday we went to the parade where Mary got lots of candy. Mary and Katie both got necklaces and rubber ducks.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
