We visited Longhorn Cavern State park yesterday, climbed the observation tower to look above the treetops and then went on a cave tour 135 feet below the ground. The last time we tried to go in the cave about a year ago, Addie was too scared so only half of us went. This time she made it all the way through and had a good time.

We've been avoiding the discussion about the fall mostly because the girls school has yet to give us answers about what the fall will look like. Part of me is really sad that we don't have the trailer anymore because online learning would be the best opportunity to travel and take a longer trip. But then there's a reason why we don't homeschool while running our business. With our vacation ending we're going to have to make some decisions about what fall will look like and what changes, if any, we need to make to the business. What a world we live in....

Dipping our toes in the lake before bedtime. Mostly our vacation has been 💯, except for the 30 minutes during which Chris and I were trying to get a rock out of Addie's nose this evening and debating if this was emergency room territory. Oh, three year olds. I'd post a laugh emoji except that this was totally new kid shenanigans for us and we were legit worried for a bit there. It's funny how you think that you've managed to bypass certain milestones and then child number three will completely surprise you.

Luckily, it came out. There was a little blood which sufficiently scared her, so hopefully no more things will be going up her nose... 🤞 and in the meantime we're back to enjoying our week off in the sun.

So much baby chub 😍 Also I loooove babies in cloth diapers. It's just too cute.

We got lucky and I had not yet gotten rid of our diapers (when I went through our baby stuff purge post Addie, when I thought she would be our last). So I didn't have to buy any diapers for Vivienne - she is currently wearing a set of cotton diapers I bought used for $40 when I was pregnant with Nora.

When we lived in our trailer on Chris' dad's land I gave up cloth diapering Addie for a time because his washing machine only washes with cold water, and then we were on the road only going to laundromats every 2 weeks. It was such a bummer to switch to disposables and I couldn't believe how expensive it was! Addie ended up being the hardest to potty train and I swear it was because she wore disposable diapers. It's been so nice to be back to cloth with Vivi, and I've made my mind up to try and make cloth work if we're on the road again next year. Are there any #fulltimefamilies out there that have figured out cloth diapering on the road? If so, I would love to know how you do it.

Celebrating a week off work with the most epic milkshakes ever @theyardmilkshakebar. Yes, we splurged and let the big girls get their own, no they didn't finish them. 😂

Nora got a coffee milkshake with a donut. Zara's chocolate chip cookie had a giant scoop of edible dough. Chris loaded up on all the artificial colors with a "cereal killer" and I had the most amazing chocolate peanut butter with a brownie. We've been vegan at home since February and haven't had real ice cream since then and OMG this was so good after 6 months without dairy ice cream. Like heaven. Of course we're all set for another 6 month now.

Once upon a time, a girl named Amber kept bumping into a boy named Chris at parties and one night asked him if he wanted to go out for a 2 am egg sandwich before going home. 16 years, 6 states, 4 kids, 1 business, and countless egg sandwiches later, I'm so glad he said yes.

This is our 13th year of marriage and it's not lost in me that my parents were getting divorced at this point. His had already been divorced for years. Every morning I wake up and choose him and every night I'm thankful for another day together. Not always perfect, often with a little person (or 4) keeping us on our toes and a to-do list a mile long, but I couldn't ask for a better partner to take on the world with. ♥️
