Oh sweet July!

Remember sunny skies, steamy temperatures, warm breezes and balmy nights? Remember family gatherings and happy, worn-out kids? I do. I came across some photos today that made me long for the dog days.

Doesn’t this look like fun? Makes me want to go dig for worms and pull out the sunscreen (apparently I missed those sweet little cheeks last summer!).

And then there’s this … my daugher *sparkles* inside and out. She *dazzles* me.

I love her … and her sister and her brother and her daddy and the whole clan of great-grandparents and grandparents and uncles, aunts, cousins and siblings that were all around my child like a protective cocoon on this warm, summer evening last July. You can’t see them, but they are there. Just ouside the glow.

And because it’s fun and hysterical and stressful and warm and fuzzy when all of those happy people get together, we end the affair with children who resemble this sleepy creature.

Memories, folks! Make memories … commit every single moment to memory.

And if you’re crazy and distracted like me, blog about those memories. Then if you ever forget, there will be people to remind you!
