Summer fun:::
Lots and lots of playing outside.  Whether it be in the yard or the park, I feel this amazing urge to be outside and I need to wear out my kids.


Looking around my house:::
The big kids are wrestling and being loud in the living room, Rylie's relaxing on the couch next to me, and I'm about to take them outside so they can burn some energy before dinner.


From the camera:::




Something fun to share:::
Our tomato plants are starting to produce tomatoes.  They look amazing and I can't wait for them to ripen so we can eat them.

On my prayer list:::
Today I'm praying for a safe trip for husband this week, and I'm praying for a dear friend, Tina, that is going through some tough times.
