The Best Part of Summer

The Best Part of Summer, a photo by Marvett Smith (Savoring the Simple) on Flickr.

This is one of the first weeks of summer that life has actually slowed down just a bit. We are usually running so fast that we don't get to enjoy much quality time with all of us together. This week has consisted of lots of time together in the yard relaxing in the chairs, laying in the grass, and playing catch. The hooligans have been soaking in quality time with their dad, and with each other. My girl and her brother have been working on his baseball skills. I love sitting back and watching all of the relationships develop in our tiny spot of the world that we call home. It's the best part of summer for me so far.
