Summer Pictures

Make Memories/Take Pictures

I woke up at 2:36 this morning and looked over at the clock, noticing the little red light at the bottom wasn't on...the "alarm set" button was not on.  What came to mind next, OH YEAH...IT'S SUMMER BREAK AND WE DON'T NEED AN ALARM!  Today is the first full day of summer break for my girls.  We plan to make lots of memories this summer, as we do everyday.  We learned over two years ago that each and everyday is a priceless gift from heaven.  

We have always been a family who thought pictures at special occasions were important, now we think everyday is a special occasion.  We have tons and tons of photos through the years and when Mike died, they all became much more precious to us.  The girls will forever have pictures of him holding them as babies, playing with them in the snow, and all of those birthday and Christmas shots!  

Once again, the girls and I are going to have a great summer making memories together.  No one can ever take away memories.  Pictures can get lost or destroyed, but nothing can take memories from you.  We don't have any "major" plans or vacation planned, although, we hope to get away for a little bit at some point after ballgames and horseback riding are done for the season.

I encourage you to take some real time with your family and friends this summer, enjoying the beauty God has created in this season.  Make special memories and take lots of pictures.  Even if you are one who "doesn't like their picture taken"...DO IT!  Your family and friends love you and they want to share these great memories with the next generation for years to come.  

I will be praying everyone has a safe and wonderful fun filled summer, with lots of pictures to show for it~
