June...

We hear it often, "Time is flying by..." and there is definitely some truth to that. As I reflect over our summer together, I am reminded of just how quickly time does pass by. We have had many beautiful moments and memories to hold close at heart. As I prepare to go back to teaching this fall, and the kids return to school,  I am clinging onto all those precious times together. Trying to not take a single moment for granted. Trying to truly enjoy each day to the fullest and be ever grateful and content, living fully, right where God has us. A longing heart for more than Him is just a dead end road.

Here are summer pics....

 All Star season was full of excitement. I am thankful each year our family participates. Claire Bear has evolved into quite a ball player. We are proud of our "Wheels#31"....
