glimpses from the past few days

We are so blessed.
I got the kids up early yesterday to experience *this* very moment above.  I’m so glad I did.  My oldest could grasp only a small portion of it.  But that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? 
Small steps of learning, showing, explaining our history. 
It was a gorgeous morning & to be quite honest, I was so overwhelmed with emotion because it was so surreal & beautiful all at the same time.  So much loss for our freedom.  How blessed we are to be Americans!
I’m almost scared to admit that this has always been on my “photo bucket list to do”  it seems disrespectful to say.  But it has.  I’ve always wanted to get up early & come when the flags are out at our National Cemetery.
Do you all have a bucket list of PHOTOS you’ve always wanted to take?
I’ve started a list for this summer.  I’m anxious to try to do them all.  Of course, we all have lists of what we want to do with the kids/family activity wise, but this list is for me.  Because I do love taking photos.  Obviously, some pics will involve the kids, but it’s just something that’s personally for me to aim for this Summer.
Below is some {insta} pics throughout the last few days.
Wowza!  Looking back, it was a busy week.  We are officially in Summertime mode over here.
And of course, our A/C went out over the holiday weekend.
And of course, no service calls took place.
It’s hot.
I’m grumpy.
But our saving grace for more than one reason, is that we brought out our blow up mattresses in the front room & had a big slumber party.  Pure enjoyment for the kids & more coolness for us because we brought all the fans to the front room.  It was a win/win.
But boy, does it look ugly!
Service guys is on his way.  I’m saying a prayer it can be fixed today.  Otherwise we’re headed to a hotel…with a POOL!
Have a super week!!!
Be back soon!
xoxo

  1. Wow that photo of the National Cemetery is beautiful. You are so right our freedom did come with such tremendous loss.

  7. My husband will be buried at Arlington someday. He’s been in the Marine Corps for twenty years, and he (and his family) never tire of reading that America respects her dead warriors.
    Thank you for checking that off of your bucket list.
