It happens every year. I look forward to summer vacation, and then it comes and goes so quickly. It has been a great one, though. At almost 4 1/2, Chandler is big enough to explore and try more things than he ever has before. I love that he is now old enough to make memories that he can hold for a lifetime.
He is growing up so fast, and although we have our challenging moments, and sometimes even our challenging days, I wouldn't trade it all for the world. He is a sweet and special blessing! Here is a recap of some of the things we did this summer.
 |
| Myrtle Beach with my parents (Grandmama & Grandpa) |
 |
| You can't go to the beach without having a picnic at least once! |
 |
| Dollar Movies- He loved them! |
 |
| Level Grove Donuts With Dad (He loved Level Grove, by the way!) |
 |
| Putt-Putt |
 |
| Swimming Lessons |
 |
He received some cool treats from the library for reading this summer.
Slime was one of them. He had a blast with it! |
 |
Making cupcakes for no particular reason
(and staying in our jammies all day sometimes!) |
 |
| Playing at the park |
 |
| Enjoying Sunday School with friends |
 |
Swimming at Don Carter State Park
with some friends from church |
 |
Watching the Demorest 4th of July Fireworks with Brent's parents
(Nana & Grandad) |
 |
Catching an Atlanta Braves game
(complete with Coke, Cotton Candy, & Ice Cream!) |
 |
Earning a certificate, medal, and fishing pole
for reading 100+ books this summer |
 |
| Throwing sticks for Jack to fetch at the lake |
 |
Catching a movie at the Tiger Drive In
(a first for all of us!) |
 |
The occasional nap
(Unfortunately for me, he decided most days this was unnecessary!)
|
This summer really wasn't so much about what we did. It was who we spent the time with…each other. I am so blessed to have Brent and Chandler in my life. They are both special and precious to me, and I thank God for them.
