Visiting the Rosenfeld's & Vanessa's 40th

We haven't seen my brother since August and I've been missing him, so a few short weeks after they moved in their new home, I asked to visit. Virtual school has its advantages - set Kade up with a hotspot in the 4Runner and he did his morning classes on the road!

They were so cute together! I love that Maddox wanted to show Kade EVERYTHING. We took a tour with Nancy and Brian when we arrived, but Maddox was intent on showing us everything all over again when he returned home from preschool. 

A simple favorite - rolling the ball to each other. Silly Riley wanted to join the fun. 

Finally some sun after many rainy days - we all took a walk down to the playground. 

Nancy got in on the slide action!

After a delicious dinner (where I tried Brussel sprouts for the first time and I liked them!!), it was bath and bedtime for these two! 

"Just pet me!!!"

Kade was too funny - he woke up in the middle of the night to tell me "I really like Uncle Brian's new house." 

A short visit, but so very glad we were able to get together. I didn't take too many pictures of the house and don't want to spoil Brian's "reveal". I'll post other pictures later. 

But, on Monday morning, Kade drew his previous weekend's events with his cousin - complete, as Nancy pointed out - with their coffered ceilings!  

Oh yeah - and right before that trip - I turned 40! That number just seems ridiculous - how am I forty already? Time does move a lot faster these days!

Received some gorgeous flowers from my husband and sweet sentimental notes from my boys. 

My "big" 40th birthday present - new pots & pans!! Hey, I'm practical! After days of research, I selected Calphalon Premier for our new pots and pans set. It's ridiculous how thrilled I am about them. I'm such an adult! 

Posing with the shipping box! haha!

I'm hoping so! Along with the hopes that 2021 goes much better than 2020!
