A Blast From The Past

This week I received a letter in the mail from an address I didn’t recognize. When I opened it, I found a note from my 2nd grade teacher along with pictures and letters from my time in her class. In her letter she said she had been cleaning out files and came across these “treasures.” 

I’m blown away that she kept them all these years, but even more so that she took the time to send them to me and her other students. Now THAT is an incredible teacher. 

Beyond grateful for the teachers who have made a difference in my life and for all the amazing teachers who continue to bless our family by loving & teaching our kids. ❤️

Cooley is 11!

Happy 11th birthday to our favorite little Irish man, Cooley! This guys got a heart of gold, a mind full of Pokémon facts, and a permanent “shirts optional” policy. If he’s not making little kids laugh, he’s probably on his 10th orange of the day 🍊—but whatever you do, don’t ask him to make a decision! 😂 

Hope your day is filled with Pokémon, fun, and absolutely NO tough choices. Love you Gooey!

Pokemon Battle

Yesterday I came upstairs to find Ryan & Cooley in the middle of an intense Pokémon battle. Our boys love Pokémon but both Ryan & I have a pretty limited knowledge (& interest) in it.

I’m thankful for this guy who’s never too busy to sit on the floor & play with our kids (& creates one heck of a Magnatile Pokémon stadium).
