Xavier Hall of Fame Weekend/Alumni Gathering

 We had an exciting weekend celebrating an XU running teammate of mine, Tommy Kauffmann, who was inducted into Xavier's Hall of Fame.  SO many teammates attended the festivities and came into town to celebrate Tommy!  It was such a fun weekend with old friends!

Snow Day, 90s dance party and sledding

 We had an unexpected snow day!  The joy in the kids when school gets called off is the best - takes me back to the joy snow days brought me as a kid (and still bring me!).  I just love a day that is spontaneous and a day when I get to have everyone home!!  We have the best neighborhood - kids just come running over when it snows to sled down the hill behind our house

Later in the weekend we met my family for more sledding up at Amberley Green.  Lots of fast hills  followed by a delicious dinner back at our house!

Nativity hosted an amazing adult night out - a 90's Dance Party!  Joe and I really love a good theme and leaned into this one and had an absolute blast out with our friends!  It was in the gym and felt like a true high school dance!  I managed to squeeze myself into a "Katie" turtleneck from when I was 4...It was a hilarious midriff under that jean jumper.  Having my name on my shirt was a total hit - not to mention the butterfly clips!  Joe really killed it in his bucket hat and his 90s athleisure gear.  Joe LOVES to dance and definitely ran the dance floor ALL night.  He has so much confidence on the dance floor (something I wish I had) but also so fun to watch him in his element.

 

ABQ with Josefine!

 Josefine and I headed to Albuquerque for another weekend to visit the Zhupikov family!!  We got to go on Amy's birthday weekend and just had the absolute best time!  Josefine and Amelia were the best of friends and had such a fun time together.  Josie takes mothering very seriously and ahd so much fun being her care taker and friend all weekend.  I loved all my time with Josefine. Everything from the together time on the flights, to the snuggles at night, to the special time watching my sister get to enjoy my sweet Josefine on her own - all so perfect and memorable!!
