Friday - What a Week!

 It's Friday!  One more work week has passed.  Gratefully, we turned a corner and had a couple beautiful days weather wise!  The last couple nights we were able to leave the windows open and in the morning, I can hear the birds singing while I sit and read my Bible and have my coffee.  I just love that!  Today is supposed to be mid 80's - very warm!   Then it will go back in the 60's and some rain for next week.  The sunshine and warm temps just give me more happy energy for sure and I really need that right now.

This was our second to last week of school for the school year.  After today, we have one week - five days of the school year left!  Yikes!  So next week will be wrapping up the loose ends and final exams.  Summer will finish her first year of junior high-7th grade.  Sierra will finish her sophomore year and yes, we have one more finishing her school years.  Autumn will finish her senior year and will be graduating high school.  I can hardly believe we are at this point.  Then I will have two graduated kids and just two left to home school.  So much to feel right now but too busy to process it.

So proud of my girls.  I love them all so much.  God gave me amazing kids!

It was also an eventful week.  Poor Sierra got sun poisoning with those sunburns from skiing.  Her lips were swollen and blisters on them.  She could hardly talk and eat.  Poor kid.

Autumn had to have a tooth pulled due to a crown being loose and the dentist not noticing and it got too much decay.  She was so nervous and it was a hard ordeal for her.

My mom had surgery on Tuesday to remove part of her colon.  Thanks to God, she is doing very well!

Max had an issue with his ear and we had a vet visit and then the next day, he had a small surgery - aural hematoma repair.  Now he is on meds and has to wear a cone for 10-12 days.

Eric is in Ft. Lauderdale since Wednesday for work - staying right on the ocean!  Lucky guy.

Things are progressing with both homes.  Step by step.

So...keep us in your prayers for sure!  We truly covet them and need them.  Happy Friday!  God is good!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
