An Update!

Well hello family and friends!
We have been MIA on the blog- our apologies!

Long story short, thanks to some four legged hanta virus carrying friends, we moved out of our apt into a new rental in one of my favorite neighborhoods! We just moved last weekend. The internet came back yesterday and our phone charges were unearthed from a pile of boxes. We are once again "connected" as they say.

One of my favorite parts of this new place, and Matt gets the credit for finding it, is that we share a backyard with a nice person named Kevin. Kevin has a gorgeous siberian husky named Riley. It gets better. Kevin has said we are allowed to play with Riley anytime! Are you kidding me? A nice backyard and a dog? Too good to be true, except it is. Cass played with Riley yesterday and they have the same energy level. It was glorious. Savvy is not so sure yet about Riley. This will be good for her.

We are also walking distance from Savvy's new daycare and the school Cassidy will attend next year. Even better, some of our favorite people live a few blocks away! As much as I was not a fan of dealing with mice and moving again, I really do have to thank the little rodents for providing this opportunity.

So, the blogging will commence again this weekend! I took some pictures of a few recipes we like to add to our weekly menu, I'll be asking y'all what your go-to meals are so get 'em ready!

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Black History Month!
PS- If you would like the new address, send me a message or text.

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

The Weekends

The weekends have a new meaning to me now.  Saturdays are the perfect day because I get unlimited access to Cassidy. During the week I have to share my time between work, chores, tasks, and more. Sunday we have church and prep time for the week. But Saturday is magical. Saturday is for adventures in the park and incredible views in the mountains you can only reach by foot. Saturdays are for sleeping in or getting up early and making a big breakfast. Saturdays we sometimes stay in our pajamas, and others times we get all dressed up for no reason. On this particular Saturday Cassidy and I met up with some friends at church for the first End of Summer Fair. We had a good time...

New Adventures (Part 3 - The Future)

  Yesterday I wrote an email to my work team (This is Matt):  Hi everyone,   I’m writing to let you all know that June 3 rd   will be my last day at OSPI.   It’s a bittersweet decision: this has been the best job of my 15+ years in education, and you all are a great team to work with. My new role may be even better, though: stay at home dad   😊   My bride and favorite person on the planet Dr. Jeannette Smith accepted a new position at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, so Team Smith is headed East!   Thanks y’all, Matt
