our life {summer evenings}

July 8, 2010

in our life

We are on vacation, so this week is all about our life

… our daily

sometimes boring

sometimes exciting

always full of love

life.

We live for evenings in the summer … the sun’s going down, we don’t sweat out gallons of liquid the second we walk out the door, the light is magic, and the neighborhood is filled with sounds of children playing outside.

Popsicles are always on the menu.

We also have riding – either a scooter or a tricycle.

This particular night was a tricycle kind of night.

And sometimes, if all the stars are aligned, there is some dog hugging.

Followed by jumping on her back and trying to ride her.

Macey moves.

Emma falls down.

Crying ensues.

Aaaaaand then it’s bedtime.

But that forty-five minutes outside before then?

Heaven.

I remember those summer days as a child. THEY were, by FAR, my favorite. I hope they are her’s too.

Such magic light. I adore the way she’s holding her Popsicle in the first picture! SO ladylike.

What sweet photos to help you remember these magical summer moments! They fly by too quickly, don’t they? But at least we are always left with the memory of how perfect the sun was that day, and how much we loved those around us.
