A monthly project featuring ten photos throughout the day that show a peek into our extraordinarily ordinary life.
Highlights from Friday, June 15, 2018:
- When the kids woke up, I got to share the exciting news that our newest baby cousin was born last night! We oohed and ahhed over his picture and cannot wait to cuddle him.
- The weather was beautiful: 83° and partly sunny. We’re trying to keep our electric bill down, so the air conditioning was off and the windows were open. Having both a front and back porch seems to keep the house pretty cool for most of the day. I just love when the breeze sweeps through and the house smells fresh.
- The baby is soooo whiny. I don’t know if it’s teething or weaning or just the age, but it makes for a long day. Thankfully, he fell asleep in the Ergo in the morning and then took a cat nap in the stroller in the afternoon.
- I ran a 5K on the treadmill to check my progress and was pleasantly surprised at the results! Runkeeper says it was my second fastest 5K time ever.
- I made sourdough focaccia “pesto pizza” for dinner and I thought it was delicious. We also made a regular cheese and pepperoni for the kids who weren’t so impressed.
- Favorite summertime experience to date: watching fireflies at dusk.
Um yeah: George went through like 2 weeks of inexplicable fussiness which I ultimately related to weaning, teething, growth spurt. I think weaning has a lot to do with it! But it did pass, even though I didn't think it ever would!
He's just about totally weaned (yesterday was our first full day!) so hopefully the whining will decrease as we get used to our new normal. Thanks for sharing your experience – it's nice to know I'm not alone!
