Lately Alex has been getting up early and coming into our bed. Since AJ has been at work, him and I have a little morning snuggles before getting Brooke up.

Brooke’s Castles and miscellany
Brooke takes quiet time most days and naps usually once a week (more often if we are having a physically rigorous week). During quiet time she has taken to building me elaborate buildings she often calls castles though sometimes they are schools or complete towns. Here are a few pictures of her creations now that I started taking pictures of them. Also miscellaneous pictures of her and Alex: having actual tea (tisane), wearing my shoes (Alex is obsessed with my heels), Brooke’s seeing Finding Dory with a friend, a day in our garden harvest, and the dinner it created.
Busy Day: Farmers Market, Bergey’s Farm, Music Class, Library Storytime
Today we had a very busy day. We started off going to the farmers market to get some produce, then to the farm to play with the animals and get fresh eggs before attending our first music class, and heading to the library for Brooke’s story time. All before noon!

Alex and Mommy’s Staycation
AJ and Brooke headed to Florida for a visit and because we weren’t sure that Alex would be able to travel yet, he stayed home with me. We got some alone time mother/son bonding and it was fun to spend time with him at a time in his life which I was one on one with Brooke at the same age. We had a blast! We spend several days at the pool, I took Alex to the beach but it got rained out and so we played on the playground and I made it up to him by seeing the animals at the farm and letting him enjoy some chocolate ice cream, went out to dinner, we went to a Norfolk street fair, and he got to work in some cooking (something Brooke usually monopolizes). We both had a lot of fun but were very happy to see Brooke and Daddy when they got home!
Father’s Day
This Father’s Day was a chill one for AJ because unfortunately he was sick the day before. We started the morning off with him sleeping in and having a breakfast of a cheese omelet with chives from our garden, fruit, and real bacon. Then he opened his second father’s day gift- rain boots! He received a new prana swimsuit before our Sandbridge vacation as part one of his gifts. We went to Five Guys for burgers for lunch, played in the back yard, and had dinner on the patio with ‘CHEESE!’ for dinner. Happy Father’s Day AJ! You are an amazing dad!
