You were so jam-packed. And while I'm happy you happened, I'm glad you are over.
If I were to honestly used two words to describe this last month, they'd be:
Fulfilling
and
Exhausting.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful. We celebrated an awful lot of amazing things this month:
The end of Preschool. We are off to Pre-K next year! I am really just so so so thrilled with Peyton's school. The educational and healthy living philosophies that this school embraces are just so awesome. I feel like we found our tribe there.
Blurry photos, because iPhone photographer I am not. |
Several birthdays, including Peyton's 4th.
My big girl at her birthday party. Her ear-to-ear smile all day made it all worth it. |
Our very first dance recital.
So grateful to have found an activity that lets this diva's personality SHINE. |
On top of in general running-around, rushed evenings, and just really being non-stop since June 1...I am breathing a sigh of relief that we all made it through the month in one piece.
What a month, in the grand scheme of things. What a blessing to have so many blessings!
My intention for the rest of the summer is to slow down and be present, and this past month is the very reason I chose those intentions. June was such a whirlwind, I feel like it was here and gone in no time at all, and all I am left with is the breathlessness and sense of "what just happened?!" that it brought on.
Things I'm looking forward to now that this crazy month is over:
- Making it to church as a family every week.
- Spending some time in our own backyard.
- Waking up on Saturday mornings and making breakfast for my family...and actually sitting down to enjoy it together.
- Lazy weekends with no concrete plans.
Finally! Peace in July.
I am going to soak it all in.
