We just spent the entire weekend together as a family, which was just beyond wonderful. This summer has been a strange one — Andrew finds himself scattered across the country every week, returning to us travel-weary and desperate for down time. We had plenty of that this weekend, not making any plans and doing as we pleased when the moment struck. The boys spent a great deal of time rolling around on the gym mat Andrew got for them to practice their tumbling and wrestling moves. It’s come in handy with all the rainy days. On this particular day, the afternoon sun was shining brightly and Oliver played in the light and shadows for awhile before Milo joined him.
This coming week I am looking forward to seeing my sister and nephew again on Wednesday, then the lovely Annie (Andrew’s sister-in-law), Reina, and Liam as they come stay with me over the fourth of July weekend (Andrew and his oldest brother Billy — by the way, happy birthday, Billy! — are traveling for cousin Jude’s wedding so we’re joining forces). It’s good to look forward to these things. There’s just nothing better than family shenanigans!
Happy Monday to you!
joe thanks you for bday recognition.
