Window Deer, Wisdom, and Simple Things

I’ve previously mentioned the many deer that frequent my parent’s yard. It seems like a daily occurrence for my mom and dad to find deer making themselves at home among my mom’s hosta plants and even eating from the bird feeder!

The picture below is the latest one they sent and I told them maybe they should just let the deer into their fenced yard… as pets 😉

An Impromptu Day Date

I wish I could say Jimmy and I went on a lovely, relaxing day date together (kind of like this one!), but that’s not what this post is about 😂 Instead, the poor guy came home from work early on Tuesday because he wasn’t feeling well.

I know it’s hard to rest with a young child in the house, and it’s especially hard with Sadie because she adores Jimmy and wants to play with him anytime he’s home. Like, if he’s on the couch, she’s literally on top of him just talking and living her best life. Definitely not what you need when you’re feeling under the weather 😆

So, I got Jimmy settled into bed and Sadie and I went off on an impromptu day date so he could have some peace and quiet.
