And just like that, it's summer. The temperature doesn't quite agree, but Ira and Maeve were still willing to try the new sprinkler. Enoch was a hard pass.

May I have the strength and patience to survive (thrive?) this summer.

Trying to make the most of these last days of summer while also feeling burned out AF.

Also, hottest dad dog ever to exist.

When we were moving to Washington, one draw was being a couple hours from our oldest friends, the Blodgetts. We have loved spending time with them! Here our some photos of our fun weekend with them. I love that the kids are so excited to see each other!

Let it be recorded that this was Maeve's inaugural skinny dipping vacation, fondly referred to as just "dipping" by Maeve. She laughed maniacally the whole time and wanted to go again the next night. Ha!

The very best of looks.
