Summer in pictures

We've had a great summer. And as I load some of the pictures I realize how much we've done.  It was overwhelming to think about highlighting each event, though most are worthy of such attention.  In attempt to get 'er done, I stuck with pictures, some edited, some not, some words, some wordless.   In a nutshell summer was fun , and kind of what you would expect with 3 toddlers.  We're in the thick of it right now I tell ya.  I really don't know what each day will bring, but the Lord provides.  Like how Nate and I had a night away last night- and how we're sitting at a coffee shop together (thus why I'm actually doing a blog).  Day by day.  Celebrating another summer of completion and looking forward to fall which will bring all kinds of change- for one, homeschooling Lucy, can't wait for that!
 Cousins up for chicken fun (poor chickens).  However, now 2 of our 3 chickens are laying (little) eggs.



Good friends from St. Louis pay a visit.


 Happy Birthday Lucy

What great pictures, Shannon! (And- I think you're so pretty.) I also love that red quilt that keeps showing up in your photos... it's very cute.

Blessings to you and yours,
