    It's raining but we don't care! (yesterday) rain, rain, go away ... yesterday City Market. Where the kids spent money earned from picking up sticks on fidget spinners and sugar. We're better now. Me, reading the posted menu outside while we wait for our table. "They have shrimp gnocchi!" Sophie: "They also have a really long line." The delightful mix of kids and cities ... Pulled over to investigate a clanking noise. He just requested a knife (which we did not pack). This is fairly common. 154,454. Hoping for 200k. This van can be a pain in the ass, especially when the air randomly stops working, but it's carried us to some beautiful places and to see so many people we love. (Plus, no car payments!) Kids decided today would be Jupiter's birthday. @zoezoller helped them bake a cake. Here our kiddos + one are helping the cat blow out his candles. After talking them out of a ridiculous 6-foot, carpet-covered tree/perch thing, we gifted Jupiter two small cloth-covered toys filled with catnip. Oh, and the house is currently covered in streamers, balloons and cat pictures... For a cat who gets yelled at so much, he sure is loved. We had such a fun weekend with the kids' 7-month-old cousin, Carmen, and Uncle Eric and Aunt Lizzie, who visited from Atlanta. And we celebrated Grandma's birthday a few days early! Someday I'll get this kid on a horse. Fort Thomas does this day well. She couldn't find her blue shorts. Her room was a disaster. There was yelling and tears. Turns out Dad thought they belonged to the boys and put them in Owen's drawer while folding. ❤️ Then she sang and hugged friends and tried to help Owen get unstuck after climbing too high in the pine tree and I bought her a strawberry lemonade from Tanith and then tonight, when she couldn't sleep, she read me quotes about kindness from "365 Days of Wonder" while I tried to catch up on work. (I harped on kindness a lot while we were duking it out over her lost shorts.) To borrow a word, parenting is bruitiful. I'm glad she is. And I am. And I hope 7 years from now, when we duke it out over something else, our day ends the same as this one did. Fort Thomas Sesquicentennial Youth Choir Fort Thomas sesquicentennial youth choir prepping for their first concert! (Sophie's in the middle, the boys wanted no part of this ). My dad, up to bat.
