Team Cohen spent 2 weeks of July together before Mommy and Daddy spent a week of July at home with no kids. Then, we left the cats and house to fend for themselves while Mommy and Daddy sailed away.



Mira went out of her way to make a quick stop in Austin before starting her staff adventure at CYJ.

Mommy gave blood at the Q2 Stadium, home of the Austin FC. Vamos Verde!

7/11 Slurpee Day!



We hung out at Driftwood the night before camp drop off.


On the very night of camp drop off, Mommy and Daddy treated ourselves to a night out.


Mommy continued her social fun on nights when she had no kids AND no husband with pottery painting with Melissa and piercing/queso with Susan!
