Whisper.

This is our new playmate. He is adorable, soft, and the sweetest thing ever.

I realized the other night as we were eating dinner that we have 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 children. My hands are full...of blessings, that is. We are loving our life together.

Life is so wonderful. I couldn't ask for it to be any better. 

Snapshots of a Normal Summer Day.

On any given day, you might find Easton building a city...

 or Tate building an extensive railroad line....

 Maylie loved going to the boys' baseball games since that meant she got to play at the park for an hour 4 times a week....

 {I'm amazed at this little one's ability to make friends with the little girls she met at the park. She had at least three regulars.}

 And that night when we dropped off Easton and Maylie, the boys found two snails who they affectionately named Turbo and Chet (named after the snail characters in their new favorite movie--Turbo)....

 Tate took them home with him in a little sour cream container with holes punched in the top.

 And while I tend to neglect the house during Spring and Summer so we can focus on our yard, I had to post this picture because I'm so grateful for the perfect little cottage we live in and where we can raise our family. It is absolutely perfectly perfect and I love every square inch of the inside & outside. 

My heart is so content.
