I got to meet Claire's baby today! We got school done in the morning, then me and girls went over to visit Claire, Margot, and the boys. It was a little boring 😅 but not bad! And Margot is so adorable. Claire seems to be handling baby #3 very well. Much better than I did, that's for sure! 

When I got home, Jonas surprised me by showing me the trampoline with the new mat on it! I was dreading replacing the mat and he did it all by himself. So crazy! That was definitely a two-person job. He switched out all of the old springs too. I am so proud of him. That was a really big job.

I had to rush to get dinner ready before the Carol Choir concert in the evening and then we watched the girls sing. It was nice. The songs were fun and a lot of people from small group were there. I started to get a little anxious though, because I was expecting it to be fast! I wanted to get to dinner at Roosters with the HC ladies. I did still go, but I was about an hour late, which was a little frustrating for me. Still, I'm glad I went. I felt uplifted, supported, and loved by the ladies there. I miss them all so much. I hope I can go to cell more consistently, but it's been so hard to make it out late at night, 35 minutes away! It might be easier in the summer, when it stays light longer and we have less busy days. I hope so.

This is my favorite picture from the whole shoot!! I love it.  We went to CT this morning and I actually got to sit in on the teaching! Woo! It feels like that doesn't happen very often. We hung out in the cafe with friends for a little bit, then went to Chipotle for lunch on the way home.  We spent most of the day just relaxing! I started a photo book for our Maine vaca in September, and tried to get caught up with some other stuff, but it was mostly just a chill day. Jonas and Clem went to group and we stayed home, chillin'. Ben and I got in the hot tub with Ruby and Ollie for a little while, which was fun. It was snowing while we were in there!

I'm finally starting to feel a little more like myself again. I can almost feel the energy to work on projects and maybe even see people. We'll see if it continues in this direction or if I backslide. I just never know anymore.  Late yesterday evening, Ben asked if the McKeans wanted to come over for a fire. I was shocked! He never wants to do last minute stuff like that. It was a really good night though. I'm glad he reached out to them and asked.  Today, we just did school and our usual BJJ classes. I cleaned and relaxed in the afternoon, then rode with Christina and Lauren to my CACH class planning meeting for the spring. We stopped at Chick-fil-A on the way and got some grub. It was a good meeting! I think the semester will be wonderful. I'm glad I'm doing this yearbook club thing. I think it's going to be a fun group. I need to put together an application for the kids to fill out!

Today was pretty fun. After we finished with school, we went to the playground with Christina, Sarah, and Mackenzie. I tried to talk Christina into going on a hike and she agreed! But then she asked if we could just switch to a playground, so we did that instead. But the kids had an awesome time, and I had a pretty good time too, so it's all good.  In the evening, Clem had her choir concert. Christina brought her kids, so they were there for her solo and Jaxon brought her a dozen roses!!! Clem was blushing so hard. It was very cute. She did a great job singing again. I'm so proud of her for being brave and giving herself 100% to her choirs, to learning her music, and to practicing daily. She's a good kid.
