I am sending love to family far away and close by.

It was a beautiful morning! The cicadas are out and about and their sound fills thr air. Here’s a cute picture of Ruby.

Got out of the house early and took Ruby for a walk little walk just the two of us! It smells like fall is on the way.

Hi mom! Love you! Have a great night!

We made some banana pancakes this morning that smelled amazing! Love you Mom’

I was thinking about you Mom! Love ya! Walked to the park with the kids today.

Today Gem and I went walking around the playground. Matt and I took turns taking her for a walk. It’s still very humid and it refuses to rain despite all the clouds. But all the trees and plants are truly loving it. Here is a picture of Matt 🗻 and Ruby from yesterday. Ruby’s being crazy and eating a corn.

Hi mom! Today we did a dance party at home before bed and that made us all smile!

Go a mile done early in the morning before a batch of thunderstorms came through. Missing you lots.

Our victory was making it to all our flights on time! It was close! It was so amazing to spend the week with you Mom! We miss the entire family already. Ruby said she missed you and pops on the plane home. Cannot wait to see you in October! All our love!

I am so excited to be home with you Mom!

Hi Mom! I was thinking about our trips abroad today. Traveling with you is some of my most treasured experiences! Here is a pic of Ruby putting Isa (the husky Malamute) to bed. A true gentle giant.

Walked my mile up here in Michigan with Michelle! It was humid and nice. Saw some amazing butterflies today!

Hi mom! Today I noticed how happy and loud the cicadas were tonight! They love a full moon! Thanks for the chat as I walked today!

Did a lovely walk outside today with the kids. Picked lots of will blackberries as a trail snack

Got my mile in yesterday in the city! Love you mom!

Hey mom! It was a lovely day out today!

Lady day of summer camp! Here is a newly hatched cicada!

Celebration day at camp! The kids and Matt came to see! It was good fun!

Got my mile in nice and early. It was a beautiful day! Summer camp is almost over and it’s been a great year of it.

Hi mom! If you were walking with me today I would teach you all about the flowers and plants in bloom here. How the Chicory plant is the only naturally caffeinated plant in North America and that the flowers only open in the cool hours of the morning. And blow thistle seeds into the wind for next summer.

Hi mom! Picked these after my morning walk!

Walked around the local monastery with a friend and it was beautiful out today. Not ask Smokey or hot as it has been. So many sand hill cranes to see.

Walked down to a light house not too far from our place. I am grateful to get to spend time with family.

Hi mom! Did my mile today with Bob after a dinner of home made pizza. Kids got to play with their aunt and uncle before dinner.

Today we had some really amazing visitors this morning

Hi Mom! Today I got out before the sun came up to walk Gem. It was hot but the flowers are all in full bloom and it was lovely.

Hi mom! Day one! Here we go! Today Caspain picked out the best outfit that made him feel cool and me smile. Cheers to the start!

Hi Mom! It was hot here today but still got out before the sun got hot and walked Gemery. The Zinias I planted and finally blooming! Also! Found a 4 leaf clover at work today! Sharing the luck with you!

We didn’t quite go 1 mile but we did walk down to the beach and play in the water. The kids loved it and they were full of joy today!

Hi mom! ❤️ Walked to the splash with the kids today. The biggest joy was watching the kids catch fireflies!

Getting started early! The Joy I found during my walk was a beautiful morning after rain last night.
