bday adventures

marit's requests for her birthday with the family involved swimming in the river, eating monkey bread and hamburgers. it was a lovely day and though i complain about adam's weird schedule, i'm so grateful that his frequent evening shifts enable us to adventure (adventures are a lot of work sometimes, but we have learned that we just have to do it and we are usually so glad for the memories and laughter, even if we are loading 3 or more bikes and a stroller in/on the car constantly!) together during the day sometimes. i'm thankful for these sweet days with these small people, taking joy in the simple.
