30 Days of Thanks: The Return of Dear Friends

Remember sweet Mr. T who broke our heart when he moved to Brazil with his mama and papa?  Well… he’s back!

Today, Nora and I were incredibly thankful to get to see some of our dearest friends, not though a computer screen but real, live, and in-person, because they have moved back to Nantucket!!!  Nora and Mr. T (who is now bigger than Nora, talking up a storm, and writing “T”s on the chalkboard — I feel like such a proud aunt) got right back to playing together as if they hadn’t ever been apart.

 It was so sweet and wonderful to watch her instantly reconnect with him and I’m thrilled to get to see Nora and Mr. T grow up together (because I’m never letting them leave again, you know).  Prom plans are already in the works!  🙂

Perhaps even more than being thankful for Mr. T’s return, I am thankful to have his mama, my friend Logan, back.  Just through me babysitting Mr. T, during drop-offs, pick-up and lunch hours, I saw Logan nearly every day of the week — then, on weekends we usually got together of a walk or afternoon play date.  When she left, there was a big hole and I can’t wait for us, too, to pick up right back up where we left off…except this time, she is ahead of me:

Yes, Mr. T now has an incredibly adorable little brother (another Mr. T), so when Peach is born Logan will be an invaluable resource as I navigate parenting two.

And, in the meantime, Nora is going to get lots of practice at being a big sister. I couldn’t be happier today!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
