Ending the Summer at the Lake

It's hard to believe this crazy busy summer is coming to an end. As much as I love the sunshine and water, I love Fall even more. Fall just makes me sigh contentment inside and makes me feel yummy all over!

It was the perfect time to go and we had wonderful weather with even some coolness on the screen porch at night. Marc has discovered goggles and glasses and loves them. He is a hoot. He also seems to know he is cute with them on and gives you his "cool guy" face!

He liked being in the water this time. We figured out it is the way the life jacket rides up around his neck in the water that he hates and so we took his float rider this time and he had a blast leaning over and putting his face in the water.

The other thing he is into lately is making faces. It usually involves his tongue sticking out! We have realized that it is attached and are trying to get a second opinion on whether or not it needs to be clipped. In the meantime, it makes a cute little indention when he sticks it out.

He also loves to kiss. He will stop what he is doing and turn to us and make a smacking noise in his request to kiss. Who can turn that down!? This is my favorite picture of Abby and Marc... he asked for the kiss!

It was a wonderful four days. It's a blessing but never seems long enough when we are on the way home. We are hoping to go back up within the month for a smaller little weekend stay. Then we will go back this Fall for a work trip.

School starts for Abby on Monday! Big second grader. We are excited. For now, Marc and I have colds... bad ugly snotty colds! Thanks Daddy! We are praying that Abby remains cold free and can start school without feeling bad. And so we rest. And tomorrow we will rest some more. Hugs... and love.
