Yesterday I had to have a wisdom tooth taken out, which knocked me out much more than expected. The good news was the gift of time to heal alone, in some quiet yesterday and unexpectedly this afternoon as well. So while the boys are taking Grandma Char on a tour of the train tracks upstairs and attempting to contact the fairies about a trip to their palace, I have the gift of some moments of peace on the couch, surrounded by open windows letting in (such wonderful) cool breezes, bright blue skies and green leaves.
It is not a gift I often give myself or am wiling to receive, the time to heal, but I am learning.
And so, now seems like a good chance to play a little catch-up from the past month or so's doings.
It has been a busy but nice summer full of daily life, celebrations, work and play. And in just a couple weeks it will be the end of this season as the boys start back to school and a new season begins.
Among (many) other things, we have been...
:: Swimming... Drew and Garrett have been all about playing in the water this year and have loved every chance to get suited up and "swim".
:: Creating... fabric flags, paper flowers, paintings, new curtains... much fun.
:: Adventuring... to Hale Farm, to pick apples (when there are no blueberries to be found...), on walks across the street, and on the playground in our own backyard (they are getting so brave...).
:: Celebrating... birthdays, and the ability to dress up as brave knights.
:: Tending... making slow but steady progress in beginning to tend this place more intentionally, together (sometimes).
:: Playing... always...building, pretending, driving, running, singing, talking, jumping, knocking down, and building again.
Wishing you some quiet moments in your days to pause, think, and be renewed (hopefully without the necessity of wisdom tooth removal to prompt it...)!
