Jen had this fun idea for sharing snapshots of our summer for SDG and my small group is sharing theirs this week.
So be prepared for a long photo filled post as I am doing project 365 and have tons of photos from this summer. :) I also adore instagram so my photos are from there.
Critty's summer included....
This girl turning 2. We had a fun day at the mall followed by her birthday party that evening. She had a blast! I must admit this photo makes my Auntie heart hurt a little. She is growing so fast. :)
The following day we left for a week at the beach. It was just my immediate family (minus my dad) and my sister in law's Mom. My cousin lives in St Augustine so he joined us a few days.
I did a lot of job searching this summer so I followed that up with reading some great books...
I was able to enjoy some of the most wonderful things nature has to offer.
I was able to look through some old photos of my family and found two photos of my grandparents I had not seen.
I spent some amazing time with this girl. Being her Aunt Christy is the best thing EVER.
I received some of the most wonderful tangible encouragement from sweet friends. Mail is really one of my favorite things!
One of the highlights of my summer was seeing a Braves game. I am a huge fan so it was amazing to cheer and watch my team win...and for the amazing Chipper to hit not one but two home runs. I got to share it with favorite people. The four of us are actually going back September 28th! I can't wait!
You know...before I did this post I would have told you summer was difficult...but as I have gone back and looked at the photos and thought of those moments...I realize it was a beautiful summer full of little wonders and love.
And just this weekend a little owl told me....
Autumn is on it's way!
What is a favorite moment(s) from your summer?
Christy, considering it's still technically "summer" until the 22nd, I'd have to say one of my favorite moments this summer was reading this post. The photos you captured and/or shared filled my heart with JOY -- Critty Joy! But I hear ya on feeling "autumn-ish." :) It's my favorite time of year and I love your new look!
Other highlights included seeing my family twice this summer and leaving "the cubicle" once and for all. God is so good!

We love the Braves too! Their games are so fun to watch in person. And St. Augustine is beautiful! What a great summer:)

Your drink looks DELICIOUS - it makes me want to be at the beach - and your daughter is just too precious. So glad that in vintaging your summer, you found an abundance of blessing!

What sweet snapshots of your summer! I love taking the time to reflect on what God gives in our seasons :)
I am also a baseball fan but I cheer for the Brewers but I will say next the Braves have a place in my heart because I was a fan of David Justice...

Your little girl is so precious! Love these pictures (especially the rainstorm one). Thanks for sharing your summer.
