Shadows of a summer gone...

Summer's gone, so it seems.  We're headed into fall leaving behind our fun in the sun memories.  My kids grew by leaps and bounds this summer.  Easton's crawling, starting to pull up on things, really wanting to walk, Melanie's talking SO much, becoming so self sufficient, it's almost like they aren't babies anymore!  So we took pictures, A LOT of pictures, to remember the times when they were more like babies, times when they needed mama and daddy and thought we were cool, times we'll miss.

Times of pig tails and laughing..

Times of jammy playing babies after bathing..

Times of buying 25 cent tea "cuppies" that make a little girl happy..

For animal watching on warm sunny days...

For trying new things, with sunscreen in our hair!

and for learning to share...

For pink cowboy boots, and faux hawks that make us look so darn cute...

Too many summer memories to count, it makes us realize more and more what REALLY counts...

Family..family matters most in the end...the people God gives us to love and cherish on this earth.
