life…and a new love

life is returning to a semi-normal state, although our normal now looks very different…but i’m not complaining! we are loving our “new” life here at the beach!

we had one of the most relaxing weekends we’ve had in months, without much on the agenda.

we are still enjoying basketball season:

and canaan is getting the hang of the game:
and taking every opportunity possible to make some “jump shots!”

we also spent a little bit of time down on the beach.

who says you can’t go in the ocean in the winter?

we loved having our dear friends over to play in the backyard

and i have to show you a new purchase. it is life-changing. Meet my Swiffer Vac:

now that i am not dealing with carpets, this tool has proved already to be worth its weight in gold. it makes cleaning up my bamboo and tile floors a breeze!

and to close…can you believe that Valentine’s Day is a week away?? wasn’t it just Christmas??

Canaan had to make a box for school to hold his Valentines. this is what we came up with using a cereal box. i think he did a pretty great job!

well…i admit that this is kinda a weak post, but its all i got for right now. the bug is hungry, and a hungry, inching towards naptime 3 1/2 year old on a very rainy day could be a bad combination!

i’ll be back with something more worthy before too long!

i’m gonna try to post some Valentine’s Day things….so check back!
