The girls and I went to the beach in the morning. Christina and I actually swam a little – well, stood in water deep enough that it went above my shoulders. Christina and I could have stayed longer, but Robin was done after about an hour. I spent the rest of the day doing chores…

I moved all the patio gravel to the backyard by myself in three hours. It was so much easier this time than last time. I didn’t understand why until I realized it was because I moved 7 tons less than last time. But still, it’s done, it didn’t hurt nearly as much as I thought…

We went to Robin’s horse camp awards show and got to see her ride. The photographer had photos of her on a horse smiling with teeth. I haven’t seen a teeth smile from Robin in so long that I forgot what it looked like. Riding makes her so happy, and that makes me happy. You…

I’m feeling pretty good about work right now. The class is doing well, the groundwork I’m building is coming together. Sort of like how Christina’s project is working out. We’ve never done these things before, but they’re coming out pretty well.

I finished sorting through photos and putting together the Flickr album from our Yellowstone trip. Next is putting together the scrapbook, which is a bigger project. Also today… my class at work is going so much better this time around. I am so relieved because the pressure was on to turn it around. I’m quite…

Slowly making my way through all the Yellowstone photos. All the editing is done, now it’s just captioning, and then printing and putting together a scrapbook. This may very well take me the rest of the year to complete. It’s ok. I can think of worse ways to spend my time.

Robin started horse camp today. She wasn’t allowed to have her phone, so I had to wait all day to find out if she loved it or hated it. Turns out she loved it. Who knew horses would be her thing? Of course it is the most expensive hobby on earth. We’ll see what we…

Robin got her nose pierced today. The guy who did it was awesome. Made me want to get another piercing. She did really well and I think it looks beautiful. She looks so happy with it. That makes me happy too.

Christina showed me an Instagram reel she saw for an art project and wanted to do it. It’s like a paper mache mobile, but instead of paper, it uses string. I have never done anything like this, but I am always up for a challenge, so we did some research online, went to Michael’s, and…

I had such a good day. People stayed in a good mood all day, the lines weren’t too long for rides, the shows were fantastic, and we even got to see some new ones. It was really, really hot, though. Robin got a little heat sick and started sitting out rides toward the end. I’m…

We made it to Orlando. Robin is having a great time with her friends. They are twins, but I’ve been able to tell them apart. Kinda proud of myself for that, but they do look a little different, so they made it a little easier on me. The drive was really easy, which is always…

Pretty typical day. We had therapy, Christina had dance, I made cheeseburgers and Robin and I ate them on the couch while Billy was at the gym. Continuing to get a lot done at work. Really getting obsessed with my book – I need to finish it and know how it ends.

Spent the evening working on vacation photos. I’m learning a lot about Photoshop, but I know I still have a lot to learn. I hope the photos look as good printed as they look on my computer screen. I hate the look of an obviously retouched photo. Getting close to being done – just 13…

I love this picture with Jackson parked behind me, not knowing whether we’re going to bed or going back to the living room. He’s just checking things out. Otherwise, the girls started volleyball camp this week and seemed to like it. I’m glad they have something to do, and also that they got out of…

I was so defeated today. I woke up at 6am to start an epic day that I thought would end with me ready to start putting down pavers next week. Instead I used all but 2 of our bags of gravel only to find that I need to lay down another lift. That means I…
