Katie: Katie is pulling herself up on anything she can and can climb out of her car seat if I leave her in there unbuckled. She is great at eating the dinners I make. She finished eating her grapes while we were playing outside and decided she wanted to start collecting rocks in her bowl.

Mary: Mary had dance camp. Funny things she said: when doing her letter flash cards "hmm, that's a tricky one." And when we would come home from dance camp, "there’s no one here!"

Mom: I have two new violin students! They signed up through Fernley Performing Arts website. I have now completed 4 weeks of walking!

Dad: Dad talked to Ivor on Monday and is in a much better head space with work. He took his guitars out and is playing again.

This week's activities: Monday Dad brought home a fun meal to celebrate our anniversary since the celebration did not go as planned last Saturday. He brought pizza for him and the girls and brought home sushi for me, which I loved. I got a dragon roll, shrimp nagiri and 9 pieces of salmon sashimi. Tuesday was our anniversary. Wednesday we went to the park with Lindsay and Jessica and their kids. We were there for four hours! Thursday April taught zumba at the church. Mary had dance camp this week. It was everyday, Monday through Thursday. Thursday they performed the dance they learned, it was so cute! Mary did a great job. She got a crown and wand. Each day they colored a picture of a princess. Friday we went to the pool, it was just Mary, Katie, and me. It was still fun and I'm glad we got out. Paul had a work dinner that night and was sad that he forgot his leftovers at the restaurant. They were saying goodbye to their interns. Saturday morning I met up with Naomi Storey, who is new to Fernley. We played tennis for an hour and a half. I won 6-3. Sunday we watched So I Married an Axe Murderer, the tradition lives on!

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...
