Despite the 92 degree weather outside, the anticipation of colder weather hovers. Looking back, I feel so blessed for the summer that we shared with our kids. As much as I feel bad that we aren't able to take more time of with them, I think back to all the fun we've had over the past several months. The kids made a trek to Massanutten in early spring as the temperatures rose. We finally made a long promised trip to the beach. They've had their fair share of birthday parties, holiday picnics, trips to the park, their first experience on a slip and slide, had a visit from Uncle Sean and the Moriarty clan from Kansas, made smores, ate as much sand as they did cool pops, rode their first fair rides by themselves, fed the ducks, watch a bird lay eggs in their birdhouse, set off fireworks, covered their limbs in silly bands, swam at the lake, tackled their first ice cream cone, saw a real live tractor pull, learned how to ride new bikes, washed our cars, and laughed every step of the way. I am so grateful for every tiny experience we shared with them, and hope the cold weather brings many new adventures!
