Life Lately {January}

{these photos perfectly capture the girls’ personalities! this is the tiny sledding hill we made in front of the house when we had SO much snow on the ground after Christmastime // Fitz can climb basically anything at this point}

{since a theater isn’t really an option but we all wanted to see SING 2, we bought the most expensive movie rental ever – it was worth it! // Aaron + Fitz reading together // who is this little boy + where did Baby Fitz go?}

{these two have the most special relationship + play so well together // Fitz can pull himself up enough to see what’s on the counter + then hold on with one hand while swiping at whatever is in his reach with the other hand… it’s super fun! // watching Daph play outside + get some of her wiggles out}

{all three kids sitting + reading at the same time! // Eloise does a lot of art at school + this last month her class discussed and created the Northern Lights  – this is one of my favorite art pieces she’s ever done at school, it’s SO beautiful! // sometimes Fitz likes to wake up at 5 am + then he’s tired and falls asleep in the middle of the floor}

{selfies with the tiny guy // cuddles with Papa // gosh, he’s so cute!}

While there were moments of joy and fun times (as pictured above) January was rough, if I’m being honest. Truly the longest month of my life. Coming off of the merriest time of the year is always a little tough, but adding in scrambling to get KN95 masks in kid-size, rain and rain and rain, the daily worry that school (for either girl) would suddenly be cancelled, a week of no preschool + a Covid exposure at school. It was just a lot. We survived. But really, still just surviving over here.

BUT, looking forward to February (the BEST month, biased or not) that will bring making Valentines with the girls, Valentine’s Day parties, a birthday celebration (albeit at home + just our small family) plus a short trip over mid-winter break.

Happy February!
