A Summer Evening

My favorite place to go is the beach in the evening.

Especially in the summertime.

So, when my birthday came Josh knew without asking what I would want to do to celebrate.

A few things came up on the night of my birthday (aka: flat tire) so we had to wait and go to the beach a few days later.

We went on an evening that was about 85 degrees, humid, and cloudy.

I loved it. 

I still want to get back one night before the weather starts to cool down for a real fabulous sunset.

But this night was just perfect.

The water at the lake was as warm as bath water.

We didn't bring our suits but we swam anyway.

Vivienne is our little mermaid and has to swim wherever, whenever.

She's taught us how to be spontaneous and carefree.

These simple little outings with my girls and my Love are more than I could dream for. 

They make my world go round.

Summer Recap: August

I really can't even begin to talk about how wonderful our summer was.

We truly have had some of the best months of our lives and we made some incredible memories.

There were skinned elbows and grass-stained knees.

Sun-kissed skin and dirty feet.

We swam until we could swim no more.

Ran until our legs gave out.

Watched clouds move and stars shine.

We ate far too many hot dogs and made far too few s'mores.

We napped.

And

We played hard.

We laughed.

We cried.

We made the silliest faces.

We saw new places

And

Met many beautiful people.

We talked for hours with old friends.

And 

We talked for hours with new friends. 

We were baptized.

We were dedicated.

We praised.

We turned 22.

We turned 1 and a half.

We were born. 

We twirled.

We danced.

We dreamed.

The beauty in our life is overwhelming.

The simple, simple beauty.

The tiny little moments.

The kiss on the cheek.

They're what make life.

See that tiny little speck running away from us. 

She has no fear.
