Loving Summer

Yep. I'm loving it. I loved it as a teacher, I love it as a mom. I wanted to take a moment to write that I'm grateful for time I have with good friends, dear family, and sweet babies who may drive me slightly crazy at times but make life worth it. I love being a mom. I love being a wife. I love serving the youth in our church. I love summer break. I love walking our new dog Zeus. I love watching my kids play soccer. I love riding down waterslides with the boys. I love playing dolls with Katie. I love lazy evenings where I can sit cuddled up with my honey. I love looking back over the life James and I have created and knowing we're doing our best to make it a good one. Life is good. Hope summer is just as happy for you!

I wanted to find out if you were going to TOFW this year, but then I thought you moved. I need to go back and reread your blog posts.
