August 2020

Happy August...as with everything over the last 5 months, this month is also different than was planned, but lots of memories were made :)

We have continued working on some house projects...to be fair, this isn't just because of COVID, these are projects that always needed to be done and there's always more :)

What wasn't expected was the oven dying :( Luckily we got a new one very quickly!

We also gave the bus some much needed love, no one soaps as well as Rose.

Rose has also been going to vision therapy weekly. Reading is a struggle for Rose right now and we are working on ensuring she has the support she needs to be successful...and she looks like a pirate, so it's a win-win :)

There's been lots of fun too!

We made it to not one, but two aerial yoga classes for the first time since COVID. Rose super enjoyed getting to show off some moves and learn some new ones.

We also kept our masks on and created Marvina!

And we decided to give a new amusement park a try. We headed to Dorney and tried out some new rides.

We had some adult time and made it out to our favorite brewery, again a first since March :)

We always love food, especially happy food :)

And lunches, Rose has to pack in a paper bag for daycare and she loves to remember her drawings, thanks Alexa!

We have the sweetest momma and 6 kittens. They are all super sweet, but we are learning a lot from this group. Momma wasn't interested in nursing after a few days and half the litter went to another wonderful foster home who could bottle feed them, while we supported momma in nursing the remaining 3. Everything went very well and we have been able to reunite them all! They are gaining weight and so cuddly.

We have also spent lots of time in and on the water! Paddle boarding has become a quick family favorite...really we just needed something Justin didn't hate doing and getting wet ;)
