Latest Update

School has ended and summer break has begun. Max was supposed to start summer camp on Monday but that was canceled due to not having enough kids registered. Ugh, this put a dent in our Summer plans and my excitement of starting to get back to somewhat normal. We moved onto plan b and that involved Amanda. She now comes to the house everyday from 8am - 1pm and Max and her have a blast together. She is such a good babysitter because she plays with him the whole time. He just loves her. It’s not how I saw his summer break going because I wanted him to play with kids his age, but it’s definitely a great plan b, just ask Max. 

We too have been keeping busy since school has ended. We built a massive fort in the dining room and there was a small room for girls only and a larger room for boys only. The larger room needed to fit daddy, as Max would say. We all gathered for lunch in the giant fort. This fort stayed up for days until we had to take it down because the cleaning lady was coming. 

We also had a great time with cousin Stephanie. She came down one da to spend time with us because she is leaving Arizona very soon to head back to Wisconsin. We didn’t see cousin Stephanie that much while she lived here, but we will definitely miss her after she moves. I will make sure to give her a call when the temps hit freezing there and we are having our usual beautiful weather. 

We have also spent plenty of time in our pool. It’s what is making the weekends more tolerable right now since there still isn’t that much to do. Max did start up swim lessons again as they recently opened back up. He’s been doing an awesome job at learning the butterfly. 

The dogs have certainly enjoyed having everyone around the house more often.

I am back in the office part-time now, but while I was home Zoe would be all up on me begging for pets, or a walk. I was working and she was bugging me and this happened almost everyday. She was more of a disturbance than Max was while I worked from home. I think Zoe has certainly missed me since I have been back at work this week, but she does have Andy still at home along with Max and Amanda.
