Mellow August

There has been a lot a craziness swirling all around us over these past few weeks.  But, in the day to day I am cherishing each moment with my two sweet lovers.  We've had many adventures--zoo, Annapolis, the pool, Wolftrap, a whole lot of reading and Great British Baking Show!  August has been insane and mellow all at the same time, and I do think we will all be in for a shock when school roles around in a few weeks.  And although Hersh and AlteLu have always been buddies, this summer has brought their connection to a new level. They are true partners, friends, buddies, and so loyal to each other.  They do know how to push each others buttons, but usually they are helping one other--and they love to take liberties in each others personal space--it's quite hilarious.  AlteLu used the word "assume" properly the other day ("I assume you only have mozzarella cheese sticks, Ima?") and Hersh has begun to bike in the neighborhood a bit on his own, which is a good break from his obsessive reading.
Next we will head to VT, and celebrate our dear sweet AlteLu turning 4! How can this be?!?
