Photo-A-Day #3709
I joke often that my time with Andrew each day centers around #OperationNaptime. Those couple of hours of peace and quiet that I may or may not get each day. I’m really lucky that he still naps and that he can fall asleep in the car and I can transition him into his bed and he stays asleep. I joke but I love my time together with Andrew. Each day he is getting stronger, smarter and more confident. I can understand almost everything he says and he’s funny as heck. Today was especially fun.
I had a project due this morning, You may have seen my #MilkDrive post, and he watched some cartoons. Then he wanted to go outside. I had yet to shower after the gym so it was a perfect day to transplant the lilies from the back yard onto the grave of Oliver and Duncan. We have quite the little lily covered pet cemetery happening in the side yard. The kids and Allison will be washing up some of the bricks and painting them to put around the little garden. This will help with the healing for the kids and us. Eva has been picking Rhododendrons and putting them on the grave each morning. Continue reading Stomp Rockets: Point of Impact →
I’ve become very particular about my milk over the past five or so years. Our favorite milk comes from Munroe Dairy and it is delivered right to our door by our friendly driver, Scott. He’s always happy to load up our order into the fridge or grab one more thing off the truck for us, when we forget to place our order the night before. But, he knows us and he knows what we typically order, 3 half gallons a week. He was also cool about me taking my selfie with the truck when he made the delivery this Tuesday.
We are a fortunate family and we have access to delicious nutritious milk. I try and have a glass with dinner each night and some in my cereal when I have that for breakfast. Eva also loves milk and she has some with each of her meals at home.
We are fortunate, but there are many people who are not. Many people do not have access to milk on a daily basis and children especially are not getting enough milk. Once school stops for the Summer many children don’t have access to milk at all. So, that is why I am teaming up with Life of Dad and Milk Life to promote The Great American Milk Drive benefitting Feeding America. As a matter of disclosure, I am being compensated for this post and will be donating part of that compensation to the campaign. I’m a big believer in the benefits of milk in a growing child’s diet that I want to get as many people to donate as possible. I can’t even imagine this statistic below.
