Austin's First Day of School

First day of 1st Grade!
Yes...thats right.
School started back and it seems as though we just got out for summer.  
Our sweet baby boy Austin is in the 1st grade this year!
Where has the time gone?

Summertime ... when the living is easy.

God blessed our family with a wonderful summer.  Through the busy hectic schedule of everyday life we managed to make many unforgettable summer memories and cherished every moment.  Many memories were not captured, but placed in our hearts forever.  Staying up late running around the yard in the dark looking at the stars, Friday night picnics,  endless trips to Bruster's with the cousins for ice cream, Hippie weekend  at Mema & Pepa (complete with tattoos and tye dye shirts), "Soda Shop" ice cream night at Nana & Grandadaddys, "Buddy Nights" (A&A got to sleep together and giggle all night every night), Lake trips and beach trips and endless hours at the pool.  The love of a family is truly one of lifes greatest blessings.  Thanks Nana, Grandaddy, Mema, and Pepa for teaching Justin and I the small pleasures of childhood.  We were both blessed with an amazing childhood that instilled fond memories in our hearts.  We would like to believe our children will be able to look back at their childhood and say the same thing.
