Welcome back and happy Tuesday! Last week was another hot one so the a/c is getting some serious use. It was also a week full of appointments prepping for back-to-school so kind of a boring week but it's ok to have those every now and then.
Take a look at these pictures to see how it all went down:
This was a nice way the start the week. While walking between buildings at work this butterfly kept circling me and then finally landed long enough for me to snap a quick shot. I've seen way more butterflies this year than any other which has been a wonderful treat.
Day 211- Tuesday, 7/30/19
After reading a good number of slides this morning I had to take Justin to the DMV so he could get his license updated to a Real ID. It's all about that golden bear now. If that's not on your Cailf drivers license you can't use it as valid ID to fly and what a huge pain it is to get it updated but now we are all done. Yay! Then off to the bank to get him his first credit card for emergencies while away at school. Check, check and check!
Today we put errands aside and focused on celebrating Brandon's 15th birthday. He wanted an ice- cream Oreo cake from Cold Stone and loved every bit of it. Happy Birthday Brandon!
Day 213- Thursday, 8/1/19
Time for my August monthly marker and no one else was around so I posed with it in the very warm backyard just before the start of a hot August night. How can it be August already? Summer is slipping away faster than I would like.
Back to the appointments and errands. This afternoon Justin got his annual physical at his new adult doctor--no more pediatrician for him. Then we upgraded his phone and got out of there just in time for his eye appointment. His prescription changed a bit for the better so they ordered new glasses and he picked and aviator style frame to change things up for this new phase of his life. It's weird to see him with such a large lens but his face lights up and he cracks a real sweet smile when he puts them on so they are the ones.
I spent the morning tracking down a few last minute things for the dorm move-in and tried to organize and consolidate things. Our loft has turned into a dorm storage space but at least we're pretty much set. His new bedding and towels were also washed today and are now ready to go. This afternoon was baking hot out so the best place to be was in the pool and John took full advantage of that before making us burgers and dogs for dinner.
When you've had a bad day and a face plant seems like the best solution. LOL! Rusty got caught up in one of Justin's bag strings and frantically tried to escape as it terrifying followed behind. Poor thing was traumatized. Meanwhile in LA Tyler sent me this picture of how he's enjoying his last bit of free time before starting summer session C with a bio-chem class tomorrow. It's nice to see him reading for pleasure again and not just because he has to for school.
That's it! Summer is drawing to and end and the start of school is looming. Are we ready? Almost!
Such a great week! Happy birthday to Brandon!!
