June 5

It may have been a run of the mill kind of day, but it was a wonderful day nonetheless.

I had the opportunity to catch up with my amazing across-the-street neighbor Mary when she just happened to stroll into the Mother Ship late this morning.

The kiddos got along all day long. They watched old episodes of "Phineas and Ferb" and enjoyed one another's company for hours.

Late this afternoon, we were all on-hand for Brady's game, which featured him starting in left field and going 2 for 3 at the plate. He hasn't had a lot of playing time this season, so it was a huge blessing to see him out on the field.

And finally this evening, we gathered in the family room after dinner to watch the first few episodes of the brand new, just-released season of "Phineas and Ferb." And that, of course, was good for some laughs. (As is today's picture, which is what I got when I said I wanted a post-win sibling pic. Abby flat out refused, and the boys made this face. Gotta love teenagers.)

So yes, it was a wonderful day. And I am grateful for the family time.
