The craziest of days

 Today has been just chock full of so much stuff. As is seemingly every day at the moment. All good things, but so very many things filling up our time. Bright and early this morning I took Spencer to the hospital to get his adenoids out. This was the third reschedule after he had to postpone for seven weeks due to having had Covid, then his doctor got Covid and finally today we were all able to be there at the same time. Surgery went well, but the anesthesia made him nauseous so he spent a few hours post surgery throwing up off and on. He's fine now, so that's great. Here's hoping it fixes what we did the surgery for. 

This was before the surgery. He got to take home this adorable quilt after his surgery. It is so cute.

And post-surgery. Still happy, albeit a bit more groggy. He slept for hours today.
Today also happened to be our final walk through on our house. It is gorgeous. I'm so thrilled. They'll spend the next week doing paint touch ups and some trim work that is left still, and then we will have our welcome home next Monday and close on Tuesday. We are so excited! We built with Woodside Homes and I would recommend them to anyone. They have been phenomenal to work with. Such high quality building and attention to detail. I don't actually have any finished pictures Bill just took a video, but all in good time there will be some.

In other news from last week, Genevieve lost a canine. She is so pleased to have it out.
Her soccer team is the pink team, which is fun. They're learning so much. It's fun to watch them improve. 
Spencer is also getting so much better. This is him kicking off to start the second half. 
We signed up for this family race. I think I only signed up for the one-mile run so all my kids could do it, but it was totally free and these shirts are awesome. Good times!

Just another pretty great week

Chloe got this dress as one of her new long-sleeved shirts. It's so adorable. I love how cute she looks in this style.
Bill's work had a family BBQ party. It was delightful. We haven't had one of those for at least two years. Those sorts of things make you feel more a part of the company. I appreciate that. 
Don't know how I did it, but I broke the top piece off of one of my prongs on my wedding ring this week. Thankfully I noticed it immediately so there wasn't any chance of losing the main stone. I need to figure out how to get it fixed. 
We took the kids to a 9/11 memorial on Saturday. It was sobering and I was glad we went. 

Spencer has been asking to get tucked in lately. Bill obliged. Not shown, Spencer laughing his head off. He was so tickled over this. Also, when he has to go back to a twin bed from this queen in a couple weeks, it's going to be a sad day. Hahahah. He spreads out so big on this bed. And it is so squishy soft. 
Genevieve hamming it up. She is so much trouble, lololol. 
Bill treated us to a Peru food feast. He made all sorts of tasty entrees. This was the desert, which I never remember the name of, but Peru's version of flan. It was so delicious. We chowed through nearly all of it.

September fun

Spencer and Genevieve are super excited to have the chance to start playing instruments at school. We got this new guitar for Spencer so he can take guitar class through his school. Genevieve is thrilled to finally be playing the flute she was given a year or two ago. 

Aaron discovered this week that trimming your own hair doesn't get the results you want. Thankfully his hair will grow fast. First picture is my efforts to fix it as best as possible after his efforts to make his hair brush to the side easier. He also gave himself a few bald spots on the side and back after playing around with my haircutting scissors. Live and learn! 
 

Grandma did some makeup and hair for Chloe and Genevieve the other day. they were thrilled. 

And Bill and Spencer had a lovely little adventure at Utah Lake bright and early this morning. First time we've taken our kayaks out this entire summer, sigh. It's been a crazy one. But I'm glad they got out at least once! There will be time in the future to get out more.
