Apparently, I needed a little blog break, I cannot believe that my last post was in June! I have had a few people mention missing seeing our family updates, so I thought I would be better at making time for writing. Plus, I miss it.
So, some updates starting with June...
We had some beautiful sunny, lazy days!
We painted...a lot!
I have realized that Meli is my little shadow. I tend to have way more pictures of her because she is constantly around me. Colin is often doing his own thing somewhere else. I am trying to make sure that we both have our time together.
I was able to go on my first field trip with Meli. I have already made it to a few for Colin. It was easier when I was at home. My goal now is to do at least one for each of them a year.
Meli has the neon green/yellow (Globi) and neon purple (Glostar). Colin has the neon blue (Tsunami) and the dalmatian molly (Patches). Will and I had a silver one name Silvara (who sadly passed). Since then we have added two otocinclus to help keep it clean (amazing!) and three snails. One blue mystery, one black mystery, and a red small one with cool designs.
We had a lovely visit from this lovely lady.
Some very brisk water caught Will and his mom off guard. I totally did warn them.
More soon!

We bought some fish.
We had a lovely visit from this lovely lady.
I love that she is totally on board and loves to do beer flights with us. This was at Tap & Growler. Awesome food and beer selections.
We showed her several beer spots. Ninkasi is a favorite of Will's.
We went on a road trip to The Grotto. I had heard it was a beautiful spot and I thought that Liz would love it.
It was such a sunny and beautiful day!
Then we took Liz to the coast the next day and it was in the high 50's/low 60's. This was Liz's first time and I think it left an impression. She was pretty cold most of the time but such a trooper. I thought it was funny that Meli and I were in t-shirts, Will and Liz were bundled up (east coasters!), and Colin was a mix of the two.
I promise.
We came home and roasted some marshmallows.
We ended her visit by taking her to one of our favorite places, Rye. It specializes mixed drinks. They have their menu broken out by pre-prohibition, prohibition, and post-prohibition. I love it!
They have an amazing chocolatier (spelling). So delicious and they pair it with liquor. They do a fantastic job at the pairing. Liz had (I think) an orange cream one paired with scotch.
More soon!
