These are the boots that Simon loves to wear. He can walk easily in them now, so it is not as amusing as before when he would just stumble and giggle!
This is the garden at my grandparents--I didn't want to confuse anyone who might think it was my garden. :) On the contrary, my small amount of squash have died as a result of rabbits, neglect, and sun. The cucumbers are just barely hanging on to existence, but the tomatoes are thriving.
Simon will be two on August 4th--less than three weeks away! I have been trying to plan how we can celebrate this big day for us! It falls on the first Friday of August, when we have all night prayer at GFA, so we'll have to have some kind of gathering later that weekend.
We drove into the Dallas area yesterday around 7:00. Simon and I were very, very, happy to see Matt. Eleven long days without him! Matt gave us the wonderful gift of a very, very clean house and several completed house projects, and fresh flowers in a couple of rooms!
It was fun to see so many people and visit so many homes; nonetheless, it is fun to be home, also! Simon was able to spend lots of time with his grandparents as well as visit with both sets of great-grandparents and several cousins, uncles, and aunt (not plural yet until Ollie or Scott marries.)
It was an adjustment to leave the unseasonably cool (and pleasant) temperatures of South Carolina and to meet the hot and very humid temperatures of north Georgia and Tennessee. Agh, but the worst was the heat of traveling back from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and finally Texas. But the transition was good for our bodies. I don't know how we could have adjusted to our current 103 degrees if we had traveled straight from the 80s of South Carolina (unseasonable) to our 103 here, deep in the heart of Texas!
Well, I must go finish assembling our fine dinner cuisine of tuna salad on whole wheat tortillas!
