Those Summer Nights

We've been living up the long summer days lately, knowing that fall is just around the corner. From impromptu swim dates to potluck dinners, it's been hard to get back into the school night bedtime routine.

Nora and Aunt Emily popped by for a swim and, as usual, little Miss was Gray's shadow. He was showing off some of his tractor driving tricks (daddy taught him how to do burnouts and drift into turns), so of course Nora needed to be on the tractor too.

We weren't brave enough to let him drive her around the yard, but I'm sure they'll be off-roading together before we know it. For now she was content sitting on the tractor with him and switching the radio stations.

We also enjoyed a summer potluck dinner with some friends and gathered the gang of kiddos for a play date. It's such a blessing to have such wonderful friends with kids that play well together.

Liam is quite the gymnast/acrobat and wanted to show me all his tricks!

Cora never seems to get tired of swinging. Oh to be a kid again!

The kids' table! Yeti is in prime position by baby Braham to vacuum up any dropped morsels of food. Smart dog!
