Year of Frugality: Month 7 Update

As many of you may know, the month began with the delivery of our second little girl! We are both excited and as most people would expect a little sleep deprived. However, things are great at the Summit of Coin household. I have had a whole month off to enjoy great family time and we have all bonded. As of right now, my oldest is a huge daddy's girl.

As I write this sentence (on July 3rd), I am sitting in a hospital room. My new daughter is sleeping as my wife recovers from delivering a baby. It has been exciting, but also a draining first day in the hospital. We left at 4:30 am on the second. Our second child was born approximately 3 hours later. Nothing I just wrote about has anything to do with June, but I just had to mention it, because we are extremely excited to welcome our second child to the family. Now onto our June update. In June we didn't do much of anything. I worked summer school (17 extra days of work) and we prepared for the arrival of baby #2.
