This past week was a focus on relaxation (for the two youngest members of the family). Arya and G were on spring break this week, and even though we didn't go anywhere fun, we had a nice and relaxing time at home. I took Friday off and took the kids to a local brewery that has added breakfast items to its menu... it was so good! After that, Arya and I ran errands and spent time together before she headed into work.
Recently, we've been spending a lot of time refining her scholarship application essays. We're down to the final two that she'll be applying to for this round; however, this will be an ongoing process while she's in school. I won't lie: this has been taxing on me, as well. I haven't spent this much time on communications refinement in a long time. But if this can help fund some of her college costs, it will be time well spent.
So grown up!

G has been busy playing (IRL and online) with a neighborhood friend, so he's been out of the house quite a bit this week. We have clearly moved on from the time when the kids were glued to me, non-stop, and while I'm a little sad about that, I love the independence that I see them gaining, which then gives me the ability to focus on other areas of my life.
Never fear, Pria's still right by my side!

I spent a lovely Saturday evening with my parents last weekend. It was wonderful having some 1:1 time with them, and the meal they prepared was divine! I feel so fortunate that they are both still alive and live close to us.

Two more days before the kids head back to school, and we resume our work lives. This is an incredibly busy time of year for Scott, with DOT inspections, plus he's taking on some additional responsibilities at his full-time job. We've been really busy at my work, as well...it certainly makes the time fly by!
