Hey there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazing that we are already in July. What a year it’s been so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started this month by replacing our Washer and Dryer. The kids broke the washer and we had laundry piling up. We looked into the cost of getting the door replaced and it was more than replacing the whole unit. Given also the fact that they were super small in capacity, we decided to change them out and bite the bullet to get a new set. Nothing too glamorous but we should be able to do more laundry. It’s the small things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fourth of July came as well. We took our normal trip downtown to watch the fireworks. The kids always seem to enjoy this spot. Ezra was a champ and liked seeing all the fireworks, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather has turned hot, which is fairly typical of the summer as of the last few years (thanks to global warming for making things worse).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took the kids to a splash pad one day and tried to keep them as cool as possible during the hot stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also took the car for its first car wash. The kids were uber-excited to do that. I also added a few photos of random things. Like my buddy who keeps me company at work sometimes (it’s hard to want to work when you look down and see that smiling face) and the girl who wanted to ‘do my hair’ – which she was very impressed with. She wanted me to keep them in for a few days, and while on calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are off to quite a start for July!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
