All night long I thought about the parents who have a child with cancer or some other serious illness and I can't imagine how gut wrenching that is to watch your child go through. One night of agony and worry was enough to knock me off my feet. As I prayed for Grace all night long I included all suffering kids and their parents in my prayers too.
Anyway, I had planned to participate in You Capture this week as the theme is Summertime. We have definitely been soaking up as much summer as we can and enjoying every minute (minus the virus of course). As soon as all the kids are healthy again (I'm hoping this virus does not spread like wildfire through our house) we will resume our normal summer activities of sprinkler parks, long walks, swimming, fishing, playing, riding bikes, visits to the lake, diggin in the sand, and whatever else we can think of. This summer has been full of fun.
Full of:
Bare feet and popsicles with great friends.
Fishing all day with daddy.
Campfires and making smores.
Professional smore eating.
First time smore eating.
And second time smore eating.![]()
Intermediate smore eating.
Smore eating for beginners.
There has been lots of swimming.
And floating.
And evenings full of exhausted children (and adults).
Yep. It's been a good summer so far. I hope it continues.

Exhausted children are great! =)
I'm glad Grace is feeling better. High fevers always scared the crap out of me!
Nice! Minus the sickness of course. How scary, seeing your child suffering is the worse! Fevers can seem so scary, I've had times where I was just sure they were deathly ill, just to be smiled out of the doctors office the next day {or later the same day} with the it just a virus thing. Usually by the time I bring my kiddos in though they are sick all the way to the office and then magically feel tons better by the time the doctor gets in the room, seems like it never fails. :)
Oh Grace is SO cute! Sorry she's been sick. :( I love her little green outfit. Glad you all area soaking it up and hope NO ONE else gets sick!!
Such terrifying times when little ones are sick and you can do nothing. I remember those times with agony. Hoping your summer illnesses are all done with.
found you thru You Capture....looks like an amazing summer!
I hope Gracie is feeling better now! Looks like a really fun summer :)
Now I'm hungry for s'mores. :) I hope the rest of your family stays healthy and that Grace recovers quickly. That sounds tough.
I think the same thing when I'm up at night with sick kids. We are lucky. I hope that Gracie has rounded the corner and no one else catches it! She is SUCH a sweetie.
I'm right there with ya with the sick kiddo...my three year old has "icky belly" but thankfully no fever. Fevers scare me silly.
I love the stages of smores eating....I'm right there with the professional! :) Happy rest of summer!
poor gracie, poor mommy. there is nothing like having a sick child.
sure looks like vacation has been fun though. love the many levels of smoring. i am a serious smore maker ;)
i wanna know how grace scores an icecream while everyone else gets a mere popsicle. ;)
hope everyone is well and back to summer fun soon!
PM- They all got to choose which one they wanted, the ice cream cone or a popsicle. I was pretty shocked at the results too. ;)
Glad she's feeling better! 105?! Kids are SO reliant - that would have made me delirious! Keep enjoying your summer - we're SWELTERING here...don't even want to leave my house - but that lake sure looks beautiful.
