Summer makes me happy. My kids make me happy. My husband makes me happy.<\/div>\n
This summer has been such a time of discovery in so\u00a0many\u00a0ways.<\/div>\n
Re-discovering who God is<\/a>. Learning how to be the parent I want to be<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Learning to shut out the old lies that flood into my mind when I doubt myself.<\/a><\/div>\n
Forgetting perfectionism<\/a>, because life is already good.<\/div>\n
I love this life. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love staring at the summer sky.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finding out that when you forget about the radishes in the garden, they grow into flowers.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The little toys in the pool swirling around and around.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And the chubby legs that caused the swirling.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I can never get enough of their tiny sweet toes.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love how wrinkled they get when they hang out in the pool all day long.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tiny perfection.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Summer days. <\/div>\n
Sun, water, and wrinkly toes.<\/div>\n
Warm breezes and cool shade.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Sweaty hugs and warm wet kisses.<\/div>\n
Salty snacks and\u00a0sweet melting Popsicles.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Summer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What do you love\u00a0most about this Summer?<\/em><\/div>\n
