Goodbye Summer

At the end of August Liam was overly ready to wear long sleeves again despite the heat and everyone was ready to start school. haha We spent our last days saying goodbye to summer much like we spent the rest of it, in our yard. There is often endless fighting between these two but the bonding moments between them where they follow each other everywhere the other ones goes make my heart so happy I gave them each other ...

That baby doll was mine when I was a little girl. I gave it to her on her first birthday and it has been her favorite dolly ever since. Lyla always finds a way to bring her along on our rides around the neighborhood. This cute girl tucked it in her shirt as a built in baby carrier ... 

This hard working man finishing up the cement project with a brick retaining wall to keep the sprinkler water from sinking the cement ... 

The cone flowers and daisy seeds we planted never did come up but the zinnia's sure had their moment!

Our first meal at a restaurant since Covid began spreading. It felt like heaven to just get out and the kids were in love with drinking from a special cup with a straw. haha That cutie haircut and hand dimples!!

My phone is filled with thousands of selfies like this one and it may the fact that I'm her mom, but I think it is the most adorable surprise ever to find!
