Madeline’s favorite place to eat for lunch is Panera Bread. You would think that she would love the macaroni and cheese like Abby when she was younger. Wrong. She loves the chicken broccoli soup. | Abby was so excited to get her learner’s permit. Luckily the DMV trip to get her permit didn’t take very long thanks to the appointment system they have now. | The older girls were really excited to give Mike a delayed birthday gift of a unicorn shirt and fanny pack just like the Rock wore in the movie Central Intelligence. | Madeline has loved two things of late – sitting with the hot pad and playing the Nintendo Switch. | Mike and I headed up to Buckley Air Force Base to sit in on the change of command ceremony for our neighbor Amanda. | It seems like every day this month is a good day to head to the pool. | Madeline loved snuggling up to all my pillows while I was in the process of washing all of my bedding. | Mike works hard and on one particular day in the OR they had him scheduled so tight it was ridiculous. | Madeline loves to play at any park, but it was a real treat to play at the MVP park after a little run there to watch Emma run with Kokopelli. | Summer evenings sometimes call for a stop at Baskin Robbins for a little ice-cream. | We finally got rid of our broken trampoline and had some guys come over and replace the pea gravel with new sod. It looks so good already. | With the destruction of Emma’s RAV4, we headed to the dealership in hopes to find Emma another car to drive. We walked away with a brand-new electric truck for Mike. The Ford F150 Lightening is probably one of the coolest cars we have driven. It was miles ahead of the Rivian we test drove in functionality and comfort. | Abby had her first few drives this month. We headed to the church parking lot for our first two sessions. | We love talking to Peter on Sundays. You know it’s a chill Sunday when we can actually sit on the couch and talk to him via the computer.
