June

June is usually a really busy month for us.  Unfortunately, covid had other plans.  

We had to put my 30th birthday plans on hold for now.  Not ideal, but staying in a hotel and enjoying restaurants and beaches just isn't in the cards yet.  We enjoyed some yummy food and drinks and made the best of it. 

Father's day was also the day after, but Caleb was working, and again, couldn't do much in the form of plans, so we just enjoyed another family day with no pictures.

 On the 26th we celebrated the official one of year being in this home.

I still haven't gotten around to the full house tour, but honestly, everyone that's come here has said that pictures don't do it justice.  We really have found more and more things to love about it and Caleb and I are still talking about how thankful we are to have made it here.  It's our own little quiet peace in the woods, minutes away from all the accommodations we love, secret rooms to store all the things we want tucked away, the perfect basement where we spend I think 90 percent of our time as a family, the kids get to roam freely in their entire upstairs abode, and the times we're not in the basement we're usually gathered around the island in the kitchen, our other favorite place to be.

And then somehow we blinked and on the 30th we gained a ten year old.  He's grown up so much this year.  He is one of the most caring and compassionate people we've ever met.  He loves all things boy still.  His favorite activity is building creations with his Knex, mostly guns.  He wanted a surprise birthday theme this year.  I went with Nerf, as it's still one of his favorite hobbies.  Caleb unfortunately had to work on his actual birthday, so a couple of days before he got to pick out anything he wanted to eat and drink at the store.  We set it all up and had a full day of games.  He got ice cream filled cupcakes because unfortunately Brusters is closed and he's not really one for cake.
