On Thursday we checked out an awesome park called Paco Sanchez. We had a delicious little picnic and a fun afternoon playing and climbing on all the different…

Around all of the actual happenings, there’s been lots of Minecraft, lots of movie watching, some story time, some cuddles, and just a general new energy in the house.

RYLA Never Ends…Neither Does BGC
I started my week with a RYLA Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee meeting. At RYLA, I had the privilege to connect with so many people and I got to invite a few of them to join our DEI work. I was excited to see a few show up and am thrilled that even more emailed…

Chili Cook Off Weekend
Thursday, Evan and I headed up Estes with a plan of visiting Boys and Girls Club Friday. It didn’t end up working out to visit so we wandered around a bit before driving down to go shopping for chili cook off ingredients with my parents. The Chili Cook-Off was the highlight of the week by…
