Staying in our pajamas until late in the morning, faces stained with watermelon juice, stacks of books read and re-read throughout the day, games played, slipping-n-sliding, staying up until the sun sets, catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows over the fire, taking cover as the afternoon/early evening thunderstorms roll through, enjoying playdates with friends, savoring the first of the summer crops from the farmer's market, and generally s.l.o.w.i.n.g down. Summer is here in all its full glory and we are doing our best to soak up the moments in between the doing.
June has been a month of adjustments for us- adjusting to our summer rhythm, adjusting to a Daddy travel schedule that has left him out of town more than home, adjusting to a new puppy and all the mischief that goes with having a new puppy. But in between the bumpy moments there have been some really great ones too. And there are many more to come.
edited to add: the bat was found on our front porch. It isn't the first time we have found a bat around our house, but usually they are dead. Imagine my surprise when I went to scoop it up, with gloves on, and it began to flap its wings! I carefully relocated it to the backyard and when we checked on it the next day, it was gone. I am hoping it did not fall victim to a stray cat as we sure could use the help with mosquito control!
