Winding Down, Winding Up

It was a very low key week for the Mosman Clan. Jip worked half days Monday and Tuesday. RJ had his well-child visit with the doctor (he is well!) and resumed speech therapy. Jip had duty on Wednesday, so the kids and I met Jip for lunch. On Thursday, we said good-bye to the Christmas decorations. Friday entailed dinner out to celebrate 16 years of marriage. After dinner, I went to The Container Store for the first time since RJ was born. It was dreamy. I came home with a bunch of fiberboard boxes to organize the desk--it was out of control! Friday night and off and on all day Saturday were filled with laughs about some of the stuff that we had saved. We tossed lots of old pens, cords to electronic devices we don't own anymore, and some random stuff we had kept in our desks at our respective jobs at VA OIG and on USS ENTERPRISE. We made plans for a bigger purge before the next big pack-out, whenever that will be. Saturday morning we did the monthly Home Depot workshop with the kiddos. And, Sunday was a chill day at home. All in all, it was a good week to wind down from all the hustle and bustle of the previous month. Below are a few photos from our week.


Now it is time to wind up and get back into our routine. It's back to school tomorrow for RJ. Jip returns to work and has duty tomorrow--yes, two days within a week, but tomorrow might be the last one if there are enough other people with fewer watches and who are qualified to stand the watch. Ryleigh starts gymnastics tomorrow. AND, Ryleigh starts preschool two days per week for 3-hours each day on Tuesday. She is excited and I think a bit nervous. Pictures next week should be great!

Until next week, have a good first full week of 2015!
