Time with Addy and Tobin.

July 2, 2026
Day 3,397

Thankful for: 

A good day of work. 

Time with Adelyn and Tobin. We went to Trader Joe's, Costco, Barnes and Noble, and Food Lion. We got lots of fun treats at Trader Joe's and Costco. They both went and picked out a book at Barnes and Noble with a gift card I had, and they went in together to purchase fruit for the fruit salad I'm making for tomorrow's party. It's nice to be able to send them into the store for things while I wait in the car with groceries or Artemis. 

An easy dinner. Soup for Addy and me. Mac and cheese for Tobin. 

Our cool home on this hot, horrible weather day. 

A morning walk with Artemis before it got too hot.
