The remainder of 2020... that pandemic thing continues

Image
  Summer 2020- since everyone was home and still quarantining, little pools were hard to find one. I snagged one from Target at 4 in the morning one night, and we used it a lot! Grandad came to visit  More Summer fun, and first lost tooth! Fall and Halloween fun! Some with our one "safe" family in the neighborhood. The start of Jim's pandemic hair. Jammie visited for the first time in 10 months for her bday! December was Aunt Leigh's 50th bday, but since we couldn't see her I had special cookies made! Other December and Holiday fun, including a fancy photo shoot with Jennifer On to 2021, when this pandemic will surely be over, RIGHT?

Oh boy.... 2020 started off strong... but then... the world fell to ***

 Jan 2020 kicked off with a bang, it was gonna be my best year yet, right????  Me, Jim, and Jennifer went to a Xanadu themed screening and party. My favorite movie!! We had an awesome full company conference in Charlotte... And Kelsey had an amazing 4th birthday party with Elsa and friends. Feb went pretty well too, with Valentine's Day... And snow... And a girl's trip with friends to Wilmington! And I started getting acupuncture! BUT THEN.... the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What we thought would be a short quarantine, turned into a loooooonnnnnngggg year, with Kelsey at home, working from home, not seeing people for a while, and using Zoom for meetings A LOT. We found out Kelsey has bad reactions to bee stings...  But we managed to have a few fun moments by doing this new thing called SOCIAL DISTANCING, and wearing FACE MASKS. More to come on the rest of 2020 later!

July - Dec 2019 Round Up! Before the world changed....

July 2019 Jammie brought Kelsey another handmade dress from a character in Pinkalicious!  One of my bestest friends, Jessie, turned the big 4-0! Me and Amie helped her hubby plan a surprise party with all her favorite things! There wasn't much exciting that I can remember from Aug 2019, but in Sept, I went to a work conference, had a painting party for door hangers at the house, and had a fun beach trip near Cape Hatteras with the Lockharts! The house we got was super tall and the stairs were tough, but we had a good time. Thanks to Aunt Dana for planning! Kelsey is dying to go back. October was quite eventful. I went to South Padre Island, TX for a work girls trip. SO FUN!! Karaoke in a bar and reeking of cigarette smoke. It's been a while since I saw smoking in a bar! We also went on a Dolphin cruise. Love those ladies! Aunt Wendy and Uncle Dan invited us on another beach trip so how could we refuse? We also got to meet new cousin, Connor!  October 2019 marked my 5 year anniv
