Our Summer So Far. . .





















Summer is in FULL swing here at the Taylor house. We have been staying busy with Girl's Camp, reunions, swimming lessons, and just playing around. And the boys had their very first lemonade stand (such entrepreneurs especially when Mike made the lemonade 5 dollars). That last picture was of us "giving" away the beautiful nativity (see "I've been Nativitied" 12/23/2009) that we got last Christmas to one of our deserving friends (Love you Kessingers).

It has been good to get out with Josh and Mike and just have fun. BUT, we miss our Luke something awful. We had A LOT of "firsts" again. . . going camping, going boating, doing anything outside. Oh, how I can imagine how much he would love to play at the lake or roast a marshmallow over the campfire. He would have loved the fireworks, and he would have been a mess after eating some of the gooey chocolate popcorn I make every year. He would be in a big boy bed by now. . .he would look so small on that big bed. The are SO MANY "He would's" in my vocabulary now.
To the memories that we ARE making. . . and the memories that WOULD have been.

Oh what do you do in the summer time? We really have to enjoy summer here while we can! I love to see what you guys have been up to and how much fun you are having with all your activities. Was that girl's camp in your trailer. Now come on.. that is not how we camp!

Hey Sis,
Keep making those memories for your boys. They will remember this time forever. What is most important is what is happening now with those you love. Make the most of it! You're Awesome!
