It’s been an eventful week over here!

Our little guy turned THREE.

Our big kid started first grade!

And sometime between that, our oven caught on fire, our washer was leaking, a piece of our microwave fell on my head, a closet door almost fell on Riyu, and a panel of our flooring decided to pop up. All a little bonus-on-top for the insane amount we pay in rent living in the Bay Area.

We are definitely NOT SETTLED over here.

AND, life keeps life-ing so we’re just rollin’ with it.

In the midst of all the chaos, we’re managing to enjoy this new space. Our new complex. The new neighbors and local park and seeing so many family and friends again.

Aside from the apartment falling apart (which, apparently, we deserve no compensation for because it’s still “habitable”), we love the location of where we live.

We can walk to several places, we’re super close to a park, and BEST of all, there are so many families with kiddos. Which means there is constant entertainment. Ishu just has to walk outside and he’ll find little boys to catch lizards with. There is always someone to play with. And I’m all for low-effort-hangouts.

I’m still in disbelief that Ishu’s a first grader. I mean, I have memories of my first grade year so his little brain is making LONG-TERM memories at this point.

That’s wild to me.

Anyway, the big first grader is up now and quite literally sitting on my head.

I’ll be back later!

Happy weekend!
