Listening to: I finished catching up on a few podcasts, so I started a few new ones. I started listening to the back episodes of Binge Mode to go along with our Games of Thrones watching. And I finally started Unobscured about the Salem Witch Trials.

What I’m planning: More summer activities plus our summer bucket list

Looking around the house: I need to do a big clean sweep before leaving. But more importantly, I need to finish fixing the twins’s bedroom.

Looking forward to: Getting to Fort Wayne and seeing the twins!

From the camera: Getting in daddy’s way
