Sweet Summertime

Summer flew by very quickly this year!  All the grandkids are gearing up for a new year in new classes, and for John Sawyer a new school.  I know it's always good to get back to routines and schedules, but I will miss seeing these babies as often as we like.  Cross Country, travel ball, and soccer are starting soon, so we will be busy with that!

John Sawyer and I were able to spend two special days together at the beach.  Even though the weather wasn't the best, we managed to see a movie, go to the beach, ride the pirate ship, swim in the pool, go to an awesome playground, eat a little ice cream and candy, and more!  He's off to pre-k soon, which is hard to believe!

We came home and enjoyed a couple more days together with Jack.  

Best cookies EVER!

Meet Fancy!  She is the latest addition to the Smith household. She is just beautiful and will receive lots and lots of love!

No animal is safe with our tree climbing Belle! She is actually going through some medical issues, and we are praying she will soon be well.

 

Always take time to smell the flowers!  

On a personal note, I have been living my best retired life the last year or so.  Somehow, I was persuaded to go back to work part time.  I will be doing what I love most at the school I love most.  I'm going to put on my big girl pants, and jump back in. I truly love being home, so wish me luck! No one is more shocked than me that I am headed back to work.
