Fully Vaccinated!!

 We leave for Disney tomorrow and it's official....I'm fully vaccinated!  Yes, I know it takes a week to fully take effect, but at least it's something.  Fingers crossed I don't have too many side effects from the vaccine.  Although it would take a lot to ruin a Disney trip for me.  ;)

Puppy Snuggles

 I don't know if I will ever grow tired of the kids snuggling with Dottie.  In case it isn't clear, she is 100% under the assumption that she is a lap dog.



Apologies

 This morning Owen and I were having a disagreement with his math homework.  When he gets frustrated with a problem, he shuts down and doesn't want to listen.  We were both getting super frustrated with each other and I've learned that sometimes you just need to walk away and both calm down.  I left to go run an errand and he knew I was upset.  When I came back, I walked back in to find this note.  He had completed the problem and apologized.


It was such a sweet gesture and makes me so happy to know that he truly cares about people and is able to apologize when he feels he was wrong.  

As I looked closer at the problem, I realize what I gave him was truly unsolveable because I had made a mistake in my math creating the problem.  Turns out we both learned a lesson.  I owned up to my mistake and apologized to him as well.  Even adults can make mistakes. ;)

Morton Arboretum - Part 2

Miles and I had so much fun at the Arboretum the other day, that we decided to bring the rest of our crew back to enjoy it with us.  Once again, it didn't disappoint.

Morton Arboretum with Miles

 It won't be long before Miles will be in full day school and these little outings of ours will be a distant memory.  So I'm trying to soak it up as much as I can.  The Morton Arboretum continues to be one of our favorite places to go.  It's such a fun place with so much to keep him busy!!  Ponds, frogs, things to climb on, suspension bridges, mazes and so much more.









Miles and I both walk away feeling a lot more zen.  :)
