My new favorite made-up holiday.

That would be Amazon Prime day. It was Monday and Tuesday. Our bounty included a Roomba, power tools, and other odds and ends. Most of it was delivered today. Luke was happier than anybody, as he suddenly had tons of boxes to play with. I set up the Roomba, but didn’t run it yet. Hopefully tomorrow. It was another very hot day.

Steps!

I spent most of the day in Monteagle and drove through rain storms to get home this afternoon. I went a way that was partially new to me. It was good to see Luke and Liz. The big news is that Luke can kind of walk on his own. He can take 4-5 steps. Hopefully I can get a video of it tomorrow.

A long, busy, and fun day.

Some of Liz’s friends came to visit today- -a total of three adults and four young girls. So we spent the morning cleaning and organizing the house in preparation. It felt good to get things in order. Our guests arrived mid-afternoon and we had a great time. The girls loved playing with Luke and exploring the back field. We all ate watermelon and then chili for dinner. After they left we bathed Luke, put him to bed, and are now just relaxing.
