June feels like a massive blur.
How are we already in the month of July – shouldn’t we only be half-way through the month of June?
The month kicked off with a visit from Derrick’s Mom, then Derrick traveled to Chicago for a BIG training with work, then he was gone for a week in Buffalo in order to train a new employee – so I think I’m justified in wondering where the month went (while equally feeling like I’ve been hanging on for dear life). June also brought Derrick’s birthday (which we celebrated in bits and pieces all month long) and Father’s Day.
Derrick and I also (somehow) squeezed in a visit to Cedar Point to check out their brand new roller coaster: Siren’s Curse.
Moments of note this month:
(0:49) Celebrating my sister Ruby’s birthday – and Derrick’s birthday at the Lake!
(1:41) Celebrating Derrick’s birthday at home
(3:54) We saw the new How To Train Your Dragon movie – it was amazing and we loved it!
(4:04) More birthday (surprise) celebrations for my sister Ruby at home!
(5:09) Braelynn’s big lemonade stand sale!
(6:11) The kids begged us to get the marble run back out – IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
(9:11) A visit to Kennywood with Grandma
Just in case you’ve missed what I’m doing – I decided that I wanted to create a curated “home video” for our family every month (remember those old “home movies” our families used to create? with the giant video recorders that an entire VHS tape fit in?) Those videos were fantastic, but if you’ve ever sat down to watch one (does anyone even own a VHS player anymore?) you very quickly realize that you do a lot of “fast-forwarding”.
So, my goal, is to take all the little videos I take of our family over the course of a month & create a short (my goal is to be around 10 minutes) video of my favorite snippets. I am SO excited to finally have a dedicated place to chronicle my family videos & keep them safe & accessible.
Enjoy a little peek into what our June looked like!
