Good Old Summertime

Our summer has been filled with
Little League,
bonfires,
and family walks.

We've been
strawberry picking,
raspberry picking,
and blueberry picking.

We've eaten
s'mores,
pudgie pies,
and ice cream.

We've gone on
bike rides,
hikes,
and vacation.

We've watched
sunrises,
MLB baseball,
and fireworks.

We've listened to
storms,
seagulls,
and the waves on the lake.

We've been
running,
swimming,
and reading.

We've
fished,
grilled,
and lounged.

We've enjoyed delicious "firsts," such as
cudighis
and pasties.

We've
climbed mountains,
celebrated milestones,
and celebrated "just because."

We've communicated,
challenged,
and cuddled.

We've grown in our faith.
We've loved our family.
We've taken delight in our friends.

Thank You, Father, for your precious gifts to us.
