It feels like we fit three summers into the month of July in the best possible way :) I'm really happy with the pace and activity of summer fun with our three kids. We still try to keep our morning outing + lunch and quiet time at home + afternoon outing template which allows for a good balance of adventure and rest. They have been playing so well together lately, especially when outside, which has been extra fun to see!
Recent Joys:
- EDW's nickname for CCW (first four letters of his name)
- NLW's current obsession with drawing marine animals
- EDW helping her brothers with chores
- CCW's "One Hug One Kiss" + "Bye, See ya!" at drop-offs
- The amount of entertainment scotch tape provides
- Celebrating our 12th wedding annivesray with a family trip to Hawaii
- Evening audiobook walks
- A fab 4th of July
- Water play on hot days
- Rearranging our living room to set the "drafting table" in the corner for our trio of artists
- Hearing the kids say "Octonauts, to your stations!"
Watching | Harris' speach to her campaign staff
Joe Biden's decision to exit the presidential race still astonishes me. That someone with that much power would be humble enough to consider the bigger picture, set his ego aside, and do what he thinks will better serve our country. I'm excited about Kamala Harris and the new wave of energy going into the election season. Also enjoyed learning more about her career in this documentary from a few years ago -- hopeful she will topple Donald Trump come November!
Eating & Drinking | Otter on the Rocks
Grabbed fun cocktails with out-of-town friends. They are some of our favorite people!
Reading | They're Going to Love You by Meg Howrey
Loved the writing, the sense of place, the perspective and storytelling, and strong Center Stage vibes :)
Listening | These Days by Rudimental
This is the song I can't stop playing. Love the beat, danceability, and the sentiment of these lyrics --
I hope someday we'll sit down together
And laugh with each other 'bout these days, these days
All our troubles, we'll lay to rest, and
We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
Think 'bout you like a past time,
-SJW
