June

 Well, thank goodness for semi-waterproof phones these days because I dropped it in the lake this morning and fingers crossed, it is still working! Especially because I haven't gotten all of the videos and pictures from the last month off of it yet. 

Here are some June favorites ...

 Lyla suddenly became obsessed with wearing Uncle Brendan's old football jersey. It goes down to her ankles and is the cutest on her! She is my coordinated athletic one and has the best hand-eye. Can't wait to get her in her first soccer season for the fall and maybe she'll be interested in trying flag football in the next year or two?!

More puzzles on a Sunday afternoon. ;)

From a hot morning at the playground ... this particular one has cool animals and critters carved into the rocks to find! 

Man she's cute!!!

Passed my dreaded glucose test last month! It always feels so good to check off that box of pregnancy. It gives me the worst headache and shakes afterwards. 

This year versus two years ago ...

I took a three credit professional development class for my teaching recertification in May and June and man did it teach me to be so grateful that Nic and I finished our degrees before having children. It took a major toll mentally and emotionally on me until I got it completed. If I tried working on it after the kids went to bed, it kept me up all night thinking about the task I was working on but if I tried to work on it during quiet time, I was interrupted every 5 minutes for snacks, potty help, switching a movie, etc. and I never really made any real progress. So thankful to have it behind me! One more class sometime in the next year and I'll be good for another 5 years. Just need to get over my PTSD before I start the next one. haha

The sweetest neighbor brought me this vase filled with beautiful peonies from her garden! It lived on my counter for one day before everyone in my family noticed spiders coming from the petals and crawling across the countertop and it was banned from the kitchen. haha 

We finally went back to church in person after watching from home for over a year! Liam grew so much his tie is a foot too short and Lyla is no longer in nursery anymore! 

It's amazing what a small change can do to a space ... I got these citrus stems from Target and they make me smile every time I walk past our entryway!

New birthday slippers have been heaven for my pregnant swollen feet!
