 Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s, uncle’s, grandpa’s etc! 

We spent the day at the in-laws. Mom and Gene were there as well as Paul’s sister. Avery went with Kendall and spent the day with Kendall’s family. I encourage Avery to spend time with both family’s. Mother’s Day she and Kendall spent with us. Father’s Day was with Kendall’s side. We are all adults and understand that Avery and Kendall won’t be around for every single family function. 

We try to be thoughtful of where Avery is going. Avery thinks sometimes she can do both families in one day. As her mom, I know she drains her energy quick and becomes emotional. She is learning to protect her energy.

I took the dogs for a walk today. Moe psyched me out and made like he was running around the house, he then snuck up the path where I couldn’t see him and he jumped in the pond. He was filthy. He then got another bath in the outside hose to get the smell and dirt off.

Ethan was in good spirits today. He told me all about the fireworks he had worked on that morning. He walked into Nana and Papa’s and saw that Papa had a light switch cover off. 

He and Papa started to troubleshoot the issue together. He scolded Papa for not turning off the breaker first prior to working with the wires (as he should have). Papa ignored him and was able to get the lights working. He told Ethan he has been doing electrical work since he was 7. Ethan was laughing at him.

We had a nice meal with yummy desserts. Paul’s Father’s Day gift from me was a t-shirt that says “Trophy Husband!” Ha!

Avery made the President’s list with a 4.0 again this semester. Way to go Aves!

I was thankful to have such a beautiful day to have family together.
