So so busy! 2 birthdays, Covid and house remodeling

Avery started 3rd grade this year. 3rd grade! Avery also turned 9 on August 30! It seems like yesterday that my coworker was driving me from Medina to Mayfield Hts while I was in labor and didn't know it. Poor Tim missed the whole thing because I didn't know I was actually in labor.

We decided to get part of our driveway paved so the kids can actually ride their bikes. Tim also bought them a basketball hoop.

Towards the end of September, I was feeling sick. I didnt think much of it because I received my two covid vaccines. But then it lasted a few days so I went and got tested for covid. The next day I found out I had it. Tim was feeling sick and he got tested and the next day we found out he had it. He is also fully vaccinated. Then the kids got tested. Reagan's test came back positive but some how Avery's was negative. We kept her home from school because we figured she would eventually get it. The next week she started acting sick so we got her tested and it came back positive. More quarantining for everyone! Tim and I felt like we got hit by a truck. Luckily we didnt fully lose our sense of taste or smell, it was just a little different than normal. The kids pretty much just had a fever and were laying around more. I was worried if they would get it that their breathing would become really bad. Luckily that didn't happen. Tim's family was nice and would get dinners delivered to our house. We also got groceries delivered.

Reagan turned 5 on Oct 15. I can't believe my baby is 5! Where has the time gone? We got Reagan a cake but we all still weren't feeling great so we never even ate a piece. 

After 5 years of living here, we have FINALLY started demo on our garage/kitchen/living room. We are taking over half of the garage to expand the kitchen. We are knocking down the wall from the kitchen to the garage and also the kitchen to the living room. We want an open concept to be able to stand in our kitchen and see what's going on in the living room. Tim moved the sink, stove, microwave and dishwasher to Reagan's room. I am lucky that he is so handy and knows how to hook everything up so we have a full working kitchen in Reagan's room. We ended up finally getting rid of Avery's toddler bed and moved the bunk beds into Avery's room. Surprisingly, the kids have been sleeping in their bunk beds and not in my bed or the living room. We are living in a construction zone but its all going to be worth it in the end.


And now for a million pictures...

Reagan said she drew a momma llama and baby llama. She said the momma llama is Mommy. Then she asked Mommy how to spell Cow...LOL

Reagan fell the other day and hit her face on the floor. She now has a big bruise on her face.





The remodeling has started on our house! Reagan's room is the new temporary kitchen. Daddy put the stove, sink, dishwasher, microwave, cabinets and countertop in Ray's room.



She is so cute!
