A very good companion.  (8/6/23)

Hannah's not always sure she wants to go to the park...  (8/8/23)

Octopus friends.  (8/12/23)

Lee got a call from their friend Mila right before bedtime, asking them to come down to 5th Street Market for some kind of festival...  (8/25/23)

There was a whole festival going on, but we were really just there for the sandbox in the back of a truck and vehicles left out as climbing structures.  (8/25/23)

Painstakingly preparing a beautiful treat.  (8/28/23)

While cleaning Lane's room, the kids found an old crush map I made of everyone I knew in college... this led to several hours of the kids getting me to tell them about all the most embarrassing emo parts of my teenage years.  (8/30/23)
