This summer may just be my very favorite summer ever! We have filled our days and time with experiences for the mind, body, and soul! We soaked up family time and we were present! I have never been busier or happier and I am so thankful for the life that we have and the way were are living it! My time with Luke and the day to day life - the ordinary that is extraordinary - is something that I am incredibly thankful for and proud of! I am writing this entry while Luke is finishing up his first day of kindergarten and as I look at these pictures of our normal, of our in between, of our real moments, of our life I feel blessed. Blessed to have been with him each and every day....blessed to have been witness to the smiles, the laughs, the tears, the excitement, the understanding, the wonder. This boy of mine is my LIFE and its a life I am honored, lucky, and beyond blessed to have! It was a summer for the memory books!!
