Hope you all had a great week. It went by very fast, as it has been super busy.
It started Monday morning dropping my youngest off at the airport to spend a few days with her grandparents. She just arrived home last night and I was so glad to have her home safely after flying in some rainy weather we had.
My husband and I didn't go out, but it was fun to cook dinner at home and eat some things she woudn't eat with us. We had turkey sausage with onions and rice, then pheasant gumbo, then salmon with sweet potatoes and broccoli. We watched some tv at night after our busy days.
My workload is picking up at my non-profit job, then my bookeeping work at home has kept me busy every afternoon this week. Thankfully, I enjoy them both and they are flexible to my schedule.
One evening this week, we made a fire and sat in the hammock. We are building a new back deck, hence the deck boards without a floor!
As some of you may remember, my niece and her husband had a baby boy last December who died in utero after being diagnosed with Trisomy 13. To carry on his memory, I hosted a coat drive with the help of my sister. We collected 48 new boys coats from family and close friends.
My youngest daughter created this logo and we called it Callaway's Coats in memory of Callaway. I attached a tag to every coat.
On Wednesday, my sister and I delivered the coats to two charter schools in Memphis, one of those being where she works. They were very thankful and it was a sweet day knowing Cal's memory will live on as we remember his short life in this way.
My oldest arrived home last night around midnight and she will have her wisdom teeth out today. So, it looks like milkshakes are for dinner! I will spend the afternoon preparing for a small Christmas party we are hosting this weekend.
Wishing you all the fun things this holiday weekend! That being said, also praying for so many who are hurting during this time. Unfortunately, hard situations don't go away this time of year. But God is with us.
