The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~
It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
We've spent the week sickly. Husband woke up Monday morning with pink eye. He got a prescription from his doctor for that. Wednesday, my doctor called in a prescription for me. And I also took Baby Boy in for an appointment. Turns out he's had RSV and developed a double ear infection. So he got a prescription too. I've been to the pharmacy so many times this week. Thankfully, Little Girl and Little Boy are doing well. My mom did come over Thursday to spend the day with us. And we've had some cooler weather. Now not full on fall weather, but we've had some 80 degree days. Fall is close--what little fall we seem to get here in Alabama. Little Girl had fall pictures at school on Wednesday, and Little Boy had fall pictures on Friday. We also took the kids to the Compassion Journey Friday afternoon. And then we went to dinner and came home. Saturday was a little out of our norm because we didn't go for a walk. But we did play outside much more than normal. I usually love playing outside, but since we moved back home this past April I haven't loved taking the kids outside because there's still a lot they don't need to get into out there. We can only do so much and the outside spaces haven't been our priority. I went through another box from the garage and painted two window casings on Saturday. I don't think I read hardly at all this week. I haven't had the energy so I've been catching up on some Netflix shows.

Goodreads description--Some people greet the day with open arms. Sheriff Sunshine Vicram would rather give it a hearty shove and get back into bed, because there’s just too much going on right now. There’s a series of women going missing, and Sunny feels powerless to stop it. There’s her persistent and awesomely-rebellious daughter Auri, who’s out to singlehandedly become Del Sol’s youngest and fiercest investigator. And then there’s drama with Levi Ravinder—the guy she’s loved and lusted after for years. The guy who might just be her one and only. The guy who comes from a family of disingenuous vipers looking to oust him—and Sunshine—for good.
Like we said, the new day can take a hike.

Goodreads description--A Viking Historical Romance
On the eve of her betrothal to a nobleman she’s never met, Rhiannon seeks comfort on the shores of the sea she loves so well. But instead of offering peace to her uneasy heart, the ocean heralds doom with the arrival of dreaded Viking ships. A vicious raid leads to the death of her beloved father and leaves Rhiannon’s life in tatters. Heartbroken, she travels to Ynys Môn, where she takes up residence at the royal court of Owain Gwynedd.
Leif loves voyaging on the open water. As the son of a Viking chief, he’s accustomed to his people’s practice of plundering and looting. But when one of his companions ruthlessly kills an old man in front of the man’s beautiful daughter, Leif is haunted by the memory. Desperate to find forgiveness for the atrocity he allowed to occur, he’s offered a chance at redemption through the kindly teachings of an Irish priest and the unexpected arrival of a royal fugitive. Suddenly thrust into the midst of the Cymry’s political turmoil, Leif is reunited with the dead man’s daughter―Rhiannon. Forced to work side by side to uncover the truth behind the turmoil, they come to discover that love can grow from even the most tragic of beginnings. But with such incompatible backgrounds, surely a future together can never be theirs.
