Stop to Smell the Flowers

Wow, what a crazy busy summer... or was it summer really? The weather was deceiving but the growth of my two babies was not.

We had a great summer as a family. We stopped to smell the flowers.


Play with friends, see the sites. In fact it was one of those stops... or family vacation to Indiana ... that caused my one month blog break. There are so many cute photos from that that takes time to blog... so will get to those a bit out of order. I am going to update with all the rest tonight! Happy reading and may some of these photos bring you smiles too!

And remember to stop to smell the flowers. Think about all the gifts God has given us. Whether our financial situation is grim or glorious, we are blessed in so many ways! Stop and count those ways each day. I love the challenge. I was doing it for a while on Facebook... ending each day with my most blessed moment of the day. But with the rush of the summer I forgot that. I hope to be back on track now.

And treasure each day... use it and not let it slip by once more!
