Itās been a minute!
Summer is normally my favorite time of year - with 4 kids the school year is chaotic with school, sports and just life in general! Summer is always a much needed time to enjoy having fewer commitments, lazy nights outside, mornings that arenāt rushed, and time to vacation, and just simply enjoy the time together. This summer has been different than most. This summer weāve adapted to some changes, prepared for some more changes, and dealt with some struggles as the heat and air quality have drained Cannon causing him to not be able to enjoy the things he typically does like being outside, running around, swimming, and even being around other kids. There were a couple weeks where all he wanted to do was lay in bed and watch TV or his iPad, and would only come outside after the sun had set. It has become our routine to come outside every evening and look for the moon, Cannon has really enjoyed the nights the moon has been orange.
The past few days Cannon has gained a little energy and spent some time outside, I put a movie screen and couch in the garage, and Cannon enjoys watching a movie in the evening, being able to get some fresh air with the garage door open, but still be āinsideā. He spent a little time in his pool yesterday (he tried to make it a skinny dipping experience but I told him we had to keep it G rated š).
We have just less than 2 weeks until itās back to school so weāre hoping to squeeze in some swimming and park visits and soak up the last of our lazy days before our schedule becomes chaotic once more.
Even on the days Cannon hasnāt felt well, he still has that million dollar smile, gives the best snuggles, erupts in his belly laugh when watching his favorite shows, loves being with his dog, and reminds us all itās his world, and weāre just living in it - heās BOSSY! But we wouldnāt have it any other way š
