Dear Summer 2014

You were my favorite yet. 

No, really. The absolute BEST summer of my life. 

Sure, you were filled with exhaustion and adjustment and anxiety as we transitioned to our new normal. But do you know what else you brought me? 

You brought me my first few months with the last piece of my heart. 

I cannot thank you enough for that. 

You also brought so many beautiful, invaluable memories that I will treasure and hold close to my heart for the rest of my life. 

Specifically? You brought:

Backyard fun.

 Date nights.

Neighborhood walks.

  

Pool days.

Dress-up.

Frozen treats.

Fireworks.

A tiny dancer.

Sibling bonding.

Respite from the heat.

The beach.

Playdates near and far. 

Friday Family Happy Hour.

Visits with family.

And individual time with each of my babies.

Thank you, so very much, for these moments. Each and every one of them. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you hold next year!

All The Best, 

 A full-hearted, grateful Momma
