Day 3,486

Thankful for: 

A short day at work. 

Time with Artemis even though she was so naughty at the vet that they literally couldn't examine her, touch her, or do anything at all. I can't blame her. I don't like going to the doctor either. 

We got to go to Tobin's football game. 

Dinner at Patty's house. My parents made it. It was incredible! Roast beef and mashed potatoes. 

Time to celebrate Armando's birthday. 

Cake and ice cream.

Thankful for: 

A good Sunday. 

Addy, Tobin, and I did Bible study together on the couch instead of going to church. It was a really sweet time with my kids.

Addy and I went to get ice cream while Matt and Tobin watched football. We think we will do something fun like that every Sunday.

We went and got bagels. 

Then we went to visit Artemis's cousins: Ellie and Lucy. 

We came home and relaxed and watched some shows while Artemis slept. 

We went to Patty's for a fun birthday dinner. 

I came home and finished the end of the show we had been watching.
