SUMMER, ALREADY??

Okay, I guess it's not OFFICIALLY summer yet, but close enough. I love summer. Especialy June. It's usually not the scorching 90's or 100's yet. The ticks have minimized, and the mosquitos haven't fully hatched. The prairies are still green, and there are baby animals all over. (I saw twin baby antelope the other day!) It's my birthday month, and this year in particular, I'm finally feeling settled.

In the midst of all the good, a part of me is aching, because our fourth child was due this month. Thankfully, God has been healing me from the pain of losing Josiah, though it's been quite the process. The wounds are no longer open, but the scars will forever remain. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him with a pain in my gut, and still sometimes tears in my eyes, but I trust my Lord. His ways are not my ways.
On a lighter note, I wanted to share some of our early summertime pictures. Enjoy!
