Summertime

'Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.' ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Summertime. My favorite time of year. Perhaps that goes without saying. We haven't had the warmest summer- we're getting some chilly, wet days, while the rest of the states are sweltering in 100+ degrees. But they're still good, relaxing days. Soaking it all up before we begin school in the fall. I'm not quite sure I'm ready for that reality, but it is true. Ry is going to be a kindergartner in one more month. For now, we are enjoying late nights & late mornings. After all, it's summertime.

Now head on over to visit Mindy's summertime.

3 months old

EllaGrace is 3 months,she rolls from tummy to back, she tries her hardest to roll from back to tummy, she smiles a lot, she laughs a deep contagious giggle, she coos, gurgles, oooohs & ahhhs, & the boys think she can say no (Ry is convinced her taught her that one).

Somehow 3 months has whizzed right by. I hope the next 3 slow down, just a little bit.

‘Being a family means you are part of something very wonderful.It means you will love & be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what.’

Two of my favorite things are photos & words. When they fit together perfectly, it makes me smile. That’s what this image & this quote did for me. Hopefully it does the same for you. It’s good to start Monday’s with smiles!
