letters to our children. september

it’s time for september’s round of “letters to our children.” i am so glad this blog circle deadline forced me to look at pictures from our summer vacation a month ago that i hadn’t even looked at yet. i wasn’t able to edit more than about five of these so don’t judge! when you’re done here please go check out my buddy laurie flickinger then follow the circle around. thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

dear miles & garrett …

you guys went on your first far away vacation in august. you flew on a big airplane & stayed in a hotel. we ate out every meal & lived it up doing all kinds of fun stuff. it was awesome. i am so happy we all got to share that time together!

even though it was just what we needed & i wish we could go back right now…please remember you don’t have to be on vacation to have fun. live each day like you’re on vacation! you can have fun no matter where you are. you don’t have to be doing anything extravagant or expensive to get crazy, laugh, & let your hair down! life is short…we may not be able to go on a vacation like this every year but i fully intend to live up everyday i have with you here on this earth because just being with you guys is better than any vacation there is. you guys are such a gift.

i got this from a wise little fortune cookie:
minutes are worth more than money. spend them wisely. (whether you are on vacation or not!)

I LOVE YOU!

love,
mom

p.s. daddy was there too! he had his shirt off in all of the pictures he was in so i kept him out for blogging purposes ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh if you could see the outtakes on this session. HILARIOUS! One day I may show you. ๐Ÿ˜‰ We love this adorable little family so much. This is Uncle Dave and Aunt Lindsay (as our kid’s call them…their our kids godparents) which makes Rylee VIP in a major way! I am so in love with her! And I think her big brother Cooper may be, too. Congratulations D + L. You know I love you guys!Untitled-1
