Ray Manor

I spent Monday putting the house back together. It was pretty good, everyone helped so much all weekend, but there’s always a little cleanup after parties and guests. In sweet home Alabama Jeanne and Christian had fun setting up Ruby’s room. 

I remember how fun it was to come home from our baby showers and put away all our cute new clothes and diapers. I’m so excited for them!

We were like the white manor on pensive street on Monday with workers pouring our ac/heater concrete pad and also workers in the attic for our new hvac stuff. Owning a manor is $$$ so I don’t recommend or enjoy it. But hooray for continued progress. I’m happy at the prospect of not having another no ac upstairs summer. 

Even though I told myself I’d still go to piano with the girls, it’s so very convenient for Adi to drive them and they all report enjoying flying solo as sisters, so I’ve pretty much absconded that responsibility. Instead I worked on things like our seating chart for women’s conference. Check out this professional rendering. 🤣 And then the missionaries were like, the orientation for the gym is wrong, but we got it. 🤣🤣

On Tuesday I met with the new RSP in the branch and we had family night and a little more manor living. 

We have leftover food that I didn’t end up using this weekend so to that end I made French toast this morning and Matt finally got to try his coconut syrup from the great state of Hawaii. Loved it. 

It’s such a bummer to go back to dark mornings. Alexis FaceTimed me with the boys while Emmett got ready for school, and he asked “why do we have to wake up at night now?!” I’m sure I don’t know, Emmy, I’m sure I don’t know.
