Summer: Thursday, 6-20-24

Greta got her braces off today! So exciting. She has retainers for top and bottom for the foreseeable future, but her braces are off. Andrew took her to her appointment at lunchtime, then he and Greta and Lucia got bubble tea and pizza. 

We started packing up for New Hampshire tonight--there are always so many things to bring for two weeks. Books, beads, coloring books, swings to potentially hang in a tree, a drone that Andrew is going to play around with the kids, new inflatables for the pond. Oh, and clothes and toiletries and some food for the ten-hour drive. Will Nutmeg get into her crate easily at the crack of dawn on Saturday? We can only hope. 

She actually did get into her crate today because the cleaners were here, and I'm too afraid of her being stepped on to let her stay free roam. Greta easily got her to hop into her crate this morning without any drama, and she even hopped in and out for the rest of the day. When she was finally free again, she ran into my closet to rest under my shoe shelf, her current favorite spot.

The kids had piano lessons tonight. It is still blazingly hot. Lucia continues to toil away at geometry.
