We're Home!
After nine days away from the kids, Brent and I returned home and we're all back together again. Right where we belong:)

Football
Luke is in his fourth week of football practices and he's finally truly enjoying himself. We had some hurdles to get over initially (changing teams, getting his helmet to fit comfortably, and his nerves) but he had two great practices this week with little to no anxiety! I'm sure this probably sounds like we're forcing him to play football, but it is quite the opposite. Luke
loves football, but he also struggles with anxieties over new experiences/settings. We left the choice in his hands to play or not to play this year. He chose to play. Thankfully he's getting more comfortable with all things football, including his helmet fitting better. Brent and I are very excited to go to his game tomorrow (our first game, Luke's second for the season)!

Friends
I got to see three lovely friends on Wednesday. The lunch date was planned, Another was a coincidental connection in the Target parking lot, and the last was an impromptu park date. I am truly blessed by so many lovely women who enrich my life:)

Sleep
After being on vacation, all of which was spent in time zones either 2 or 3 hours behind Minnesota, we have been a little off in our sleep patterns. Thankfully last night I was able to get to sleep at 10pm and sleep all night. Since we got back, both Brent and I were up until 12:30am every night. That catches up with this lady!

Tonight
We had a wonderful family night tonight. We had dinner at Mr Pizza North, our favorite, then walked to the park. Nora is so much fun at the park now that she's interested in crawling and climbing around on the jungle gyms. Tonight her milestone was going down the large tube slide (with Daddy or Luke's help). She seems to love the independence of exploring (even though we're always only an arms length away:)). Luke also had fun playing catch with a football with Daddy. He's geared up for his game tomorrow!
Way to go Luke! He is learning such valuable lessons at such a young age. He is such a brave kid. And staying up late a few nights in a row catches up with me too. I just need to give it up, but there's so much good alone time happening in those hours. Miss you girl.
