Friday 5: Celebrating Simplicity

5 simple happenings worth a little celebration from the week.

Here's to the best part of apple picking.

While many look forward to the picking, I enjoy what comes afterwards - snacking and sipping with family until we run out of things to say.

Here's to a little put-put in the mornings.

Vance has always been an early riser. And by early I mean he has time to run a mile or two on the treadmill, shoot a few hoops outside, dribble the soccer ball, assemble the hockey goals and take a few shots, throw the tennis ball against the garage and catch it, ride his bike around the cul-de-sac, see where I'm going with this? Lately, he's been challenging me to putting contests and he's gonna need more practice if he wants to beat me!

Here's to good beer and thoughtful friends that brought it across state lines for me.

A reminder of when we lived up north!

Here's to Vaughn missing the grout. And the carpet.

Vaughn's nosebleed's have been out of control lately. I've been running the humidifier in her room at night and making sure she uses saline drops, but still her nose keeps on gushing. (Know something that helps? Let me know!) She usually wakes me up, but this time she didn't and didn't even remember going into the bathroom in the middle of the night. It looked like a crime scene in there! Despite all the blood drops and smears, she didn't get one droplet on the grout or the carpet on her way in. Good girl, Vaughnie!

Ladies and Gentlemen, here's to a couch.

One couch was finally delivered on Thursday, exactly 74 days after ordering. The other couch is still on backorder, but let's just focus on the positive. It's here, comfy, and no Vaughn, you may not use markers while sitting on the couch anymore. Happy to have #couchgate one step closer to being over!
