The 5th of July

The day after the 4th of July always evokes the same emotion in me...yikes! Somehow, it always arrives super fast, and without warning. It is the constant reminder that summer has been in full swing, and work will resume shortly. I panic. I wonder how 4 weeks could have gone by in a blink. I hope I made the most of my days, and make big plans to savor and enjoy the remaining 6 weeks.

Then...I breathe. I think about all that we really did do. I look at pictures to remind me that, yes, we are having fun!

We've spent our June enjoying our new cousin, Colin,




playing at home all day long,

heading to the zoo whenever we want,

enjoying the summer sun,

celebrating a Blackhawks Championship,

and just plain being in love with summer!

So, for right now, I'm good. Check back with me in August when the panic-stricken -I didn't get everything done that I wanted to - it can't be almost time to go back - demons return. Until then, I'm having fun!
