The last week of June

Here we are at the end of June, heading into the final weekend of the month.  June is pretty much my favorite month of the year.  There is no school this month, and at no point are we "weeks" away from the next school year either.  July has no school either, but it often feels just around the corner.

Our sweet pup is doing better.  There has been significant improvement, although we know that her healing will be measured in weeks and not days.  While there is still limping, she is moving around better and just feeling like herself again.  It's wonderful, and we are so grateful!

We've also made a point to "live" this week and enjoy our summer together.  Monday was an icky day, but we paid a family game of euchre in the afternoon and another game of Uno after swim practice that evening.  Tuesday afternoon I took the kids to visit my mother and grandmother, and there was more euchre that day.  Wednesday Andrew took the kids to the pool while I stayed home with the pup, and more euchre!  We are trying to keep at it so the kids don't forget how to play.  Yesterday Andrew and I decided to visit a nearby antique mall, and Thomas wanted to go along.  He had a blast looking at everything, and I wasn't sure we were ever going to get him out of there!  We found a couple of small things to bring home, hit a farmer's market on the way home, and then the kids had a swim meet last night.  We allowed ourselves to sleep in this morning, and then we are headed to the pool again this afternoon.

I am more grateful for these days than I can put into words!
