We start school in just a few weeks. My plan is to post one fun part of our summer for daily. I want to look back on this summer and remember that even though the move was SO much work, that we had a great summer. We spent some wonderful hours with friends, we enjoyed some amazing time in nature, and we were uplifted and sustained by the Lord and earthly angels who got us through a crazy time.
Even though it's been an exhausting summer, it's also been a joyful one, so to start us off, here are some of the best smiles of the summer.
