Algebra

 "Dad, I learned how to do algebra today and it's LITERALLY like my most favorite thing ever"

Some Sweet Summer

Summer is going by too quickly from my viewpoint. But I am so thankful for all of the quiet moments, splashy fun, family time, Grancamp adventures, and even for the slow chaos of living in a construction zone. 

I sometimes find myself battling the urge to do activities and just 'do nothing' (which winds up being less stress and more fun sometimes!) This summer you both have really taught me a lot about slowing down and, as you have been saying lately Aidan, "just go with the flow."

In one day, I helped each of you make something awesome. Julia- you and I made cupakes!

Aidan- we made slime!

You've also spent a good deal of the summer away from me and mommy, as mommy is going back to school and I'm at work. You've been spending weeks with Mimi and Pops and Yaya and Baba. Sleepovers, swimming, hot tubbing, cooking, making, playing, and loving.

Big hits this summer: STENCILS, Cousin Kaelyn, Cousin Holden, Dogs! (including Sandy), Weird Al Yankovic, Boxes, Sleepmasks, Grancamp, Friends, Cursive, Addition, Sewing, and Bone.

This summer has been full of reading, drawing, learning, playing, and dreaming. Here's just a small sample of what you've been up to, and how much you've grown!
