Day 1,036
Today, Adelyn got her stitches removed from her eye surgery. She was so brave. She walks into appointments without a worry in the world. I love watching her be brave in situations where I would be falling apart. She's so strong and confident. Then we went shopping at Target so I could get a new planner. I love shopping for planners and pens and pencils and office supplies. Then, we went to the library to get a few stacks of books to read over the upcoming rainy days. Then we came home and stayed put the rest of the day. Patty and her kids came over and had dinner over here. It was fun to just hang out together. We watched America's Got Talent together.
Tomorrow, we are going shopping for lunch boxes for the upcoming school year. Maybe a haircut for Tobin. Maybe a shampoo for Adelyn. She hasn't been able to shower since her surgery. Looking forward to another day with my loves.
Thankful for this life. It's beautiful.

Day 1,035
Thankful for special days with my family. We went to the Baltimore Aquarium today, and the kids loved it. It's always an adventure driving into any city, but we made it. I love seeing Tobin and Adelyn so excited about seeing sea creatures. Thankful for moments of wonder and discovery. Thankful for special days with my favorite people. Thankful for a quick bite with Steph, Mario, and Sue last night. Thankful for things to celebrate like Mario becoming a US citizen. Thankful for good days. Thankful for more days of summer left.

Engagement Party!
July 28, 2019
Day 1,033
Thankful for a great day with my amazing family! We had an engagement party for Shane and Cheyenne. We had Patty's homemade pheasant bread, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olives, and fruit as an appetizer. We had wine and sangria. I made spaghetti and meatballs and salad for dinner. It was delicious! Patty made a luscious cake for dessert. Then we gave cards to Shane and Cheyenne, and I read them something I wrote for them. After dessert, we had a champagne toast on the deck while the kids played in the yard. Then we sat outside for a long time and listened to music. It was a great day with family.
Thankful for family! Thankful for grand days. Thankful for good food. Thankful for a wedding to look forward to. Thankful for great new things up ahead.

Day 1,032
Thankful for a lovely day with my two little lovebugs. I cleaned. They played. We went grocery shopping. And we watched a movie in bed with popcorn. Life is good with Adelyn and Tobin in it. I'm just so thankful to call them mine.

Safe at home in the country.
July 26, 2019
Day 1,031
This day started off with such promise. Matt and I decided to take the kids the DC for the day. We went to The Museum of Natural History. It was a disaster. It was crazy hot in the museum. It was crazy crowded. And it was too much for Tobin. He was overwhelmed. We stayed for maybe an hour or two, and then we couldn't take it anymore. I was dizzy and feeling anxious with all the people. I don't like crowds. Even Matt was feeling dizzy. So, we left. It was a hot walk back to the car. Then in the parking garage, Addy and Tobin almost got left on an elevator when Matt and I got off and the doors shut very suddenly. I pried the doors open with my hands, and one of the kids pressed a button inside and the doors opened. Both Adelyn and Tobin's faces were as white as ghosts. It was a stressful day for them. Poor Tobin said it was the worst day ever.
Here's what I'm thankful for though...
1. We got to have lunch at Bozzelli's Deli.
2. We got to come home to the country and relax in our cozy home.
3. We got to tell the funny story of our horrible day in DC.
Thankful for my babies. Thankful we are all safe at home now in the country.

Long, lazy, lovely.

Day 1,030
This day was long and lazy and lovely. We stayed in all day. I made chicken noodle soup. We watched movies and TV. The kids played. They played some video games. We snacked. It was just good and relaxing. Sometimes, you need a day to just stay inside and do nothing at all. And because Addy is still recovering, we have a great excuse to.
Thankful for long and lazy and lovely days.
