Moving through January!

We have been quickly moving through the first month of 2023! I can't believe we are already halfway through January!  We made it back into the work/school routine pretty nicely and Zack has been getting off work a little earlier in the evenings to be home more with the boys... that has been a huge help!  The first weekend in January, I got to meet up with my best friend, Liz, for 24 hours of uninterrupted, kid-free fun!  We stayed at her mom's house which is centrally located between our homes.  We stayed up until 3:00 a.m. chatting, tried a few new places back home, walked the Greenway while chatting some more and finished it out with dinner before heading back to the "real world".  I am so thankful for Liz's friendship.  She is someone I can talk to for hours, laugh with until we cry and be completely myself around. I love that we were able to catch up as we start a new year!  Since we have done this two years in a row now, we have decided its an annual tradition! ;)

We celebrated the 80th day of school in our 80s gear!  Maddox is not pictured since he had strep throat for the second time this fall/winter season.  Grammy and Grandpa helped immensely while mommy and daddy continued to work each day.  Prayers for continued healing for Madman! His stomach has been in pain since Monday and his appetite hasn't come back just yet!

Maddox attempted to play a couple periods of his basketball game on Saturday (but didn't want to take any pictures for his fans).  We fit in a birthday party for one of his best friends, Luke. He made it around the roller skating rink in a little slower pace than Maddox's normal top speed! ;) 

The highlight of the weekend was taking the boys to see Monster Jam. Daddy got us tickets through his work and I believe while this was our first time seeing the monster trucks in action, it won't be our last!;)
