dear Braylen, today you are EIGHT! It'll always be your day, but you know it means a ton to me, too! It's the day that made me a mother.

The lake is cooling down and football Saturdays are back in session, so while we'll still have some warm days, I think it's safe to say, summer as we know it is officially over for 2017. It took me 22 pictures to get all of the highlights of summer in one post, I'd say it was good to us!
