No.261: Our Extraordinary Ordinary Life // June 2019 Edition

A monthly project featuring ten photos throughout the day that show a peek into our extraordinarily ordinary life.

Highlights from Friday, June 14, 2019:

  • The weather was 76° and sunny, just the perfect early summer day!  
  • I drank my morning coffee outside in my new mug, a surprise from Mark.  We took Lucy out after breakfast to burn off some energy and she got filthy quickly by digging in the flower beds (I swear she’s like a toddler – you turn your head for a second…).  M turned on the hose and she was crazy with excitement, trying to drink the water and play tug-of-war.  Crazy dog.
  • We had Blue Mountain Mystery on repeat for P’s morning movie.  It’s his current favorite, although Finding Nemo might be a close second.  Both were bought on Second Spin for cheap.
  • The second set of eggs on the porch fan hatched!  We feel so lucky that we can watch new chicks hatch twice each spring.

P.S. Don’t forget to enter the blogiversary giveaway for a chance to win some of my favorite things!  Winner will be chosen at 11:59PM EST on Sunday.

    your porch always gets me like hearty emoji eyes! And that mug – YAS! Lucy is so sweet, sometimes I swear raising pups is more exhausting than kids, hah!

      Totally agree – Lucy decided to jump off of the porch for the first time today and I just about had a heart attack! It's like having a seventh child.

    Wow! What a beautiful idea! These are such simple and sweet sentiments and moments you've recorded. And I agree, puppies! So much work! Our weimaraner, ella, is just about 18 months and finally calming down (in the loosest sense of the word ha) enough to kinda be allowed to "hang out" with us for intervals which is so nice and makes it all worth it.

      That's encouraging to hear. Lucy is four months old and I keep saying, "Just a year and a half to go!" hah!

      She can be SO naughty! We keep telling her that it's a good thing she's cute… 🙂
