Today was the solar eclipse! Jon was supposed to go back to work but he decided to take ONE more day off and go with Jordan up to Idaho, where the eclipse was total. He wanted me to come with him, but I didn't feel good about leaving the girls again. He took some pretty cool pictures and he was gone for about 18 hours.
He and Jordan were able to purchase eclipse glasses, but we weren't in the path of totality, so they would have been less effective anyway. Not to mention the scary logistics of making sure three children correctly look through them at the sun!
We went the hole in a box route, and were able to see the partial eclipse. It was really cool. And at the point of the most coverage, the light got really weird.
We were on our way down to the Smart's for Lydia's birthday party! It was so great to see Meghan and the kids again. Despite all the hubbub, it was wonderful to catch up with Meghan and gossip about newly married life! She is living at her parents' house while she attends law school, and she gifted me one of her mom's onions right out of the ground!
Leiden lost her last baby tooth today, and she wrote the SWEETEST little note to the Tooth Fairy. This little girl is growing up, and it's equal parts bitter and sweet.
