Day 2700 | 2700!
/Another 100-day blog post and another delay to get here. You blink and the day is gone, you know? We’ve had *a few* things going on lately and I’ve been waiting for this moment to announce…wait for it…we added TWO KITTENS to our family a few weeks ago. I know. I’ve been holding out on adorable kitten photos for all this time because I wanted the big reveal to be on the 100-day post. We finally made it! So, let me introduce you to Murphy (the gray kitten) and Marvel (the black and white one). We call them Murph and Marv and we’re over the moon. I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember and TWO kittens? It’s been a total dream. I’ve added a special kitten question to the entries below so you can get a sneak peek into our life these days.
Without further ado…
Sara
FAVORITES: Sparking water, long walks, extra time with the boys, all the kitten snuggles, a freshly-detailed van, evening meals on the porch, low-pressure mornings, our new fancy beach towels, coffee from my favorite mugs, catching sneak peeks of the bun engaging with the kittens, quick moments for reading
SUMMER-Y THING I’M GOING TO MISS THE MOST: Wearing dresses and tank tops
THE BEST THING ABOUT THE KITTENS: Watching them wrestle and play (it's just so cute!)
FALL THING I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO: Making space for myself again: work, and volunteering, and friends.
