June 3

It was just another not-quite summer day in our little piece of paradise.

Abby hung out with Gracie and did the evening Costco run with me (since Adam had a meeting). Isaac and Brady played video games and had baseball clinic. And then after dinner, Adam assembled our brand new patio lounge chairs and table.

I just stood the the window and watched for a little while as Abby stood on the deck and flipped through pages in her old sketchbook and the boys played catch by the pool.

And I thought that yes, this life has been filled with challenges and pains that Younger Me couldn't possibly have imagined. But it's also blessed. And I am thankful.
