We’ve been starting every morning with school for Hanny.  Reading.  Clocks.  Math.  Writing.  In our experience taking time off those first few years only makes September that much harder.  It’s worth an hour a few mornings a week to keep at it. 

Clocks aren’t easy, but she is working so hard at it. 

Mid-afternoon Katriel asked me, “Can we ‘nuggle, Mama?”

Oh yes, baby, we can always make time to ‘nuggle.

As it was, I had time to ‘nuggle, because I didn’t have to make any dinner.  We used gift cards to eat dinner at Olive Garden for a pre-Father’s Day celebration before John went to Germany for work.

Home for presents and cake.
