We are SO lucky to have puppies and grandparents only 15 minutes away! It's nice to go a cuddle puppies for a morning but not have to walk anyone or pick up poop. Heaven knows I'm changing enough diapers daily as is!

So fun to have weekend visitors! It's been a minute since we last had houseguests!

It's no secret that I'm pretty into pottery these days. I've felt so proud of myself as I've improved. It's been really rewarding to try something new, work at it, and get better. I'm often trying to spend an hour or so during nap time throwing something or trimming previously thrown pieces. I've liked making pieces that I'm proud to gift. Here are some photos of the end process. The bisque ware to glazing to the finished pieces after their last firing. I've begun to make pieces that are representative of what I want to be making all the time!

My baby girl graduated from Preschool and is off to kindergarten in the fall. She's had a great year - she's quite the extrovert! Maeve never warmed up to nap time, but she liked her friends. At the end of the school year she told me that she has a crush on Ethan because he's so funny. I keep forgetting that Maeve is 5 years old and more capable of what I currently ask her to do. She's still a little toddler in my mind. I think Maeve will really enjoy kindergarten - she definitely craves the stimulation!

In true Maeve style, her dress is on backwards and her hair is a mess. And I'd like to point out that a perk of being the shortest kid in your class is that you get to be in the front! I love my Maevey Maeves!

Oh man, this kid is cute! Enoch has darling facial expressions and I love his smile. Enoch loves to play with Play-doh. He knows where it's kept and is quite persistent when he wants to play with it.
