Sweet, Sweet Summertime

As I've just recently gotten home from the county fair, reality sets in that the summer most certainly is coming to a close. It is so hard to believe. It seems like yesterday I was wrapping up one school year, but am now getting ready to start another. However, it seems like little Liam has been a part of our family for much longer than two months. As summer fades into fall, there are many things that I will miss.

* time with my precious children.


* the beach



*dramatic play

* playing dress up


* story time at the library

Makayla loved to bring home a ton of books, puppets, and videos each week!

* visiting with friends

* reading good books

(Thanks "Mr. Wilber!")

* summer birthdays


* frozen coffees

(decaf. of course!)

* rain and rainbows


* playing in the yard


* pool time

* coming up with creative ways to soothe the baby

Liam's new favorite place to hang out is under the hood on the stove...ah, white noise!

* late nights and sleeping in

* hearing Makayla "play music" and make up her own songs



* naps


* lunch dates with Mimi

* ice cream


* watching Makayla try new things

Thanks Grandpa for the crabs and the cute picture!

* being a full time Momma


I am looking forward to the challenges that a new school year will bring, but am sad that I won't be spending every day with my babies. I will miss them dearly. I am so thankful for a wonderful sitter though, and the experiences they will have with her.
