The curtains are closing on the summer of 2010. This has been a challenging season for our family, but not all bitter, there has been a good bit of sweet. Just tonight, the babies crawled up on our bed and cuddled between Wayne and I for a bedtime story. Is there anything sweeter than baby kisses and giggles....I could have stayed there for hours, but Phoebe and Ruby had other ideas! The cuddles turned into a wrestling match and we were forced to put the opponents in their own beds! Just like my little girls dread hitting the sack, I really don't want these long, warm days to end. On the other hand, I'm anxious for the fall and for a new start! Our family and friends have filled these days with such love, more than I can even comprehend. Sweet, sweet blessings. I've highlighted a few of the sweetest spots!
*Strawberry picking at Westmoreland Berry Farm.
*Baseball.
