This Summer has been fun with some great highlights, but I'll be honest that it has been a long one too. Brett is currently doing a hard case with work and has been gone a lot. He has tried his best to be home with us when he can, but as a lawyer, sometimes it's just crazy. In the meantime, the girls and I tried to fill our time with fun things to take our mind off the fact that Daddy wasn't home. It was so nice to be with friends. Friends are great for getting you through long days. I'm so grateful for the wonderful friends in my life because they have kept me sane. I have also learned that a little bit of ice cream, a nice run, sleep or even a good cry can do the soul good after a long day. (They don't all fit together but you get the idea.) Ha! I have a whole new admiration for moms that do this alone, I don't know how they do it, they're amazing. Brett is still a great help when he can during the week and that makes such a difference.
I must say after a wild day, it always helps to look flip through these pictures and smile at the memories we have made. My life is rich with blessings. I couldn't ask for more.
