Our summer has been crazy. Between camps, VBS and visits to here and there, we haven't been home very much. Today was our first day getting back into the swing of things.

This morning after breakfast, Lucy and I headed out to the park in our subdivision. We played on the slides and swings. We got inside the little car and pretended to drive. She was just perfect. She loves for me to climb around on the playset with her, and one time she went down the curvy slide first. When I slid down after her, she had her hands out,waiting for me at the bottom saying, "careful, careful" Except the way she says it, it sounds like "tearpull, tearpull". She tickles me so much. She has the biggest personality and we see more of it each day.

We pretended to be airplanes and birds, and we walked back home. I cooked ramen noodles and green beans for lunch (we desperately needed some groceries) and Lucy ate so well. After she ate, we cuddled in a chair and read a couple books. She really loves "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" right now. We finished up with reading from her little Bible and she fell asleep while I was reading to her.

I laid her down in her bed and was able to put up several loads of laundry and get our room all cleaned up.

I often get bored with routine but today, I was so thankful for the extra time with my sweet girl (:
