Wordless Wednesday - Missing the Sunny Summer Days

I was looking through some of my pictures and ran across this image of the girls on their first jet ski rides.  With the weather being gorgeous (but the water being cold), I'm missing the sunny summer days.

Wordless Wednesday - Wind Whipped Tomatoes

You may recall my lovely green tomatoes and gorgeous yellow flowers from my July Thankful Thursday post. While it seems like only yesterday, it has been two months. My tomato plant provided us with some delicious tomatoes, but I'm sad to say I think it is almost done. Fall has quickly come upon us and these tomatoes tell the tale with their sparsity of leaves, limp limbs and glimpses of brown.  So long summer.

*Note:  Yes I do know that it is Thursday, but my tech deficient brain couldn't figure out how to get these pictures off my camera (I forgot to insert a SD card).

The Sweetness of Life - Milano Moments

Life is sweet in so many ways. My Thankful Thursday posts are evidence of all the ways that I enjoy and appreciate my life. From a surprise nap to the most sincere smile, my kids are full of sweetness that is often unexpected and always a joy to behold.   One of my favorite moments of sweetness from this summer occurred when I was dropping my girls off at my parents for a short summer vacation.  As I was giving hugs and saying goodbye, each girl said to me separately, "I'll take care of my sister if she gets sad and misses you."  I've always encouraged the girls to look after each other.  My sister and I are amazing friends, and I want the same for them as they get older.  Apparently they are on the right track - and nothing is sweeter than that!
