This morning we had the great summer toy box purge. That went well so we moved on to tackle the indoor/outdoor half bath that was added to the outside of the house for farm staff years ago.  (insert shudder)  Meantime, the sun and the temperature were rising – a rare combination here.  So we finished up and spent the rest of the day focused on vitamin D absorption. For a while there, if I closed my eyes, I could have been in the tropics.  I think.  I haven't actually been to the tropics, so it's just a guess. 

It has been a big week.  Doctor appointments, eye appointments, one sick child, one traveling parent, and two working daughters.  It was pure joy to spend these hours just watching them smile with no place to be but right here.
