Savoring Today

The sun goes to sleep earlier these days, and after an unseasonably gloomy week I'm feeling like August--and summer-- are slipping away. But then I think of golden leaves and apple pie and wearing scarves, and it makes it all better.
Fall will bring its loveliness in time (hopefully not for another month or so)-- but until then, we will squeeze every last drop of warm sun and summer beauty Oregon will grant us.


Some long overdue photos from July, because I'm having trouble with the watermark application I'm using and it takes me forever to mark them all. (Anybody out there have any suggestions? Please do share.)

Sweet babies at the rodeo :




Our little cowboy was so excited about the rodeo that he hardly slept the night before (note to self: never tell child about an exciting event the night before). We were VERY sleep deprived, but it was fun.
More fourth of July festivities:
(This one's for you, Dad!)
 



 July also brought us almost perfect camping weather at the lake. We did have a downpour on our last morning as we tried to pack up... you could say it made the experience extra memorable. 







I love this moment. In the past few weeks, these two have been forming such a strong bond. It definitely feels like the baby years and Mama attachment are drawing to a close, and he's all about "the man" these days. Their relationship is such a beautiful one to watch. 



I've got photos to post from our little cowboy's birthday earlier this month and some more family adventures to share. Hopefully I can find an easier way to watermark the pictures and they'll be up in a couple of days. In the meantime...
 

we will savor today, and hope for sunshine tomorrow.
