Seatrek Adventure

Fox and I had a very special underwater adventure this summer. This is at our local aquarium, and he was so nervous going into it, even though he had asked to do this for a very long time.

I was nervous as well, as I don't like to go diving, but more nervous for him, and not able to communicate how he was feeling once we were under. He held my hand so tightly most of the thirty minutes of the experience, and kept squeezing it three times in a row - our special way of saying "I love you" to each other.

I thought it was really cool, and I enjoyed it much more than I anticipated. We got to touch and feed stingrays, and there were some sharks in the tank as well.

I was so proud of him for overcoming his fears, and trying something that he wasn't so sure about.

When we got out, he told me that he loved it, even though he was nervous.

I'm so happy we got to do this together, just him and I. It was a really special morning.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
