I pick up this guy this weekend. He’ll have been gone from me for about 2 weeks. I miss him more than I thought I would. Oh I know, this time away has been great for him. I know he’s been spreading his wings and taking in some new found independence. I just can’t wait to hug him and I plan to keep on hugging him – as much as he’ll let me, so you hardly at all. But to have that laughter echoing throughout the house, makes my heart jump and I can’t help but smile.

So how has your summer been going?

This picture screams summer to me and brings back so many good memories from our trip to Atlanta. And what’s funny is that we are soon going to Atlanta to see family and meet the new niece. To make more memories. But I couldn’t leave this post without posting up some of my favorite moments from that trip in 2007…

Getting some Aunt A lovin’…

Nothing like sharing a beer with family…

Goofy summer grins, what could be better?

So here we come Atlanta, ready for some more magical summer moments…
