Those Days, June
June was rolling in the green grass. June was the last day of Bea’s first day of preschool, the last day of Josie’s life as a Xavier Montessori Lab School student and our last day all walking to school together. June was the pool opening and daily ice cream with friends. June was golden hour floating in the water and learning to swim like a big kid. June was clover crowns and wildflower bouquets and summer fashion. June was some nights before the sun went down and other times pushing midnight. June was neighborhood summer girlfriends and family friendships made stronger. June was eating all three meals poolside and trips to the park. June was creative times inside when the heat or the rain demanded it. June was hosting a mother/daughter bookclub. June was celebrating Grandma’s retirement and celebrating Father’s Day with donuts and pizza in the sunshine. June was climbing trees and geocaching. June was building muscles from tossing kids high in the air. June was a rare night out - just the two of us with french fries and ice cream for dinner. June was just the beginning of what was the best summer yet!

Quick Quotes
A recent conversation with Josie was too good not to capture here (and for all eternity)...
Josie: “I”m not going to high school or college. I’m going from sixth grade right to my life.”
Mama: "Oh yeah, what do you mean?"
Josie: "I mean, I'm going to just go straight to my job and the rest of my life."
Mama: "Wait, that's soon! Are you going to move after sixth grade?"
Josie: "Um, no. I'm going to start my life but I'm still going to live right here, with you."
Mama: "Whew. Okay, what kind of job?"
Josie: "Well, I'm going to either be an artist that makes science or a scientist that makes art, I just am not really sure yet which one."
(After a long pause, with me giggling under my breath & making a mental note of every word so I could write this down)
Josie: "Either job, no one will care about all the bruises on my knees from climbing trees."
