Summer Fun

Fall is here ... almost. It's still 90 plus degrees out during the day, but the evenings are now cooled with the hint of a Delta breeze. The leaves are changing colors already, there are pre-season NFL games on television and my favorite Starbucks baristas have promised me that pumpkin spice will be making its return within a few short weeks. I am giddy!

Giddiness is brought out in me in only a few ways ... fall, hanging with a select group of my wacky friends, and being with my family. I was blessed to share five days recently in Utah with my family. Pure joy for me ... my happy place with all 8 kids, my sisters, and my mom all together.

My happy place ... between my sisters!

Six of the eight kids (Andrew & Mitchell were at EFY) with me.

I made sure to steal a moment with all eight of the kids the night before we all left.

The handsome man behind us (left) is our grandfather, Cy Greaves!
