I'm a day late to the "Currently" link up with Jenn at My Joyful Life but I still wanted to join in on the fun. In twelve days I will be working the last day before the schools close for a two week Winter Break and I cannot wait!!! Until then, here's what's happening with us right now.
[loving]
This past Monday was the Winter Formal for Sam and Rachel's school. I was "loving" how excited Rachel was to attend her first high school dance and I was "loving" hearing each kid's stories after the dance about how much fun they had!
[hoping]
So, if you're reading this on Thursday morning then I'm on a plane. My dad is heading into surgery for his hip replacement today and I'm flying out to be with him and my mom. I'm "hoping" his surgery goes really well and his recuperation is easy. And we're all thrilled that he got surgery so quickly this time around. (Last time he was waiting for over a year.)
[doing]
I am "doing" everything I can to be festive in the midst of renovations. We're drinking cranberry tea, eating Applesauce Jumbles, watching Hallmark movies, and hanging ornaments on our outside tree...
... Rachel and I did a festive puzzle surrounded by empty boxes...
... and I'm using festive spatulas! I made a batch of Applesauce Jumbles as I wrote this post and I used the "Baking spirits bright" one! What I especially love about these is I can use them in January and February too :)

[seeing]
This week we are "seeing" the addition starting to be built on the back of our house. It's very exciting! We're also "seeing" a lot of snow. I feel bad every time I see a renovation update from our contractor and it says, "Shovelled snow out of the back yard." Even though it's not my fault, I know it's added extra work for them.
So that's what's up with us "currently." If you could say some prayers for a successful surgery for my dad today, and a quick recovery, I would really appreciate it.
