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.

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

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 ...
