June 2

It's a tradition for me to take the kids out for brunch shortly after the end of each school year. So this morning, we loaded into my car and drove over to Jim's.

I'm no stranger to this particular local eatery, but none of the kiddos had been before so it was a new experience for them. And I think they enjoyed their steak (Isaac) and pancakes, eggs, and sausage (Abby and Brady's twin orders). (And, if you were Brady, you also enjoyed my hash browns.)

It's always a blessing to be out and about with them, especially when they're all getting along and in good moods. So tonight, I am so grateful for more time, more conversation, and more chuckles with my very favorite young people.
