End of Summer

How can it be? How can summer be coming to an end? Between the 8 week summer class I took and chasing a toddler around the summer just flew by! Class starts for me next week which means my life is about to become hectic and stressful. However, I am trying to look at it in a positive way... "the sooner I start the sooner May will come and the sooner I will be done" Right?! I try to be optimistic anyways. Ha. May 2018 can't come soon enough!!!! 

Here are some pictures over the last few weeks. 

McLean County fair is hard word for a toddler!

Grandma and Grandpa Taylor made Lettie some zucchini chocolate chip muffins and lets just say she approved! ;) 

She pulled this basket across the living room and jumped right in... she was really proud of herself and all her accomplishments! Ha 

All of a sudden Lettie looks so much like a little girl and no longer a baby and after looking at these pictures it's official. Tear. My baby isn't a baby anymore!

This view. I could look at it ALL day long and never get tired of it. The sound of the birds, trees, water and boats driving by is truly my heaven. It's a place that puts a smile on my face just thinking about it. I have so many wonderful memories of this place and I am so thankful for my grandparents buying it so many years ago. I am even more grateful to bring my family here and make a whole new chapter of memories. 

I was a little nervous taking the boat out just Isaac and I plus Lettie but she did great every time we docked and just sat without a peep! #boatbaby #minusthebaby

Fill up a plastic pool on the deck and give the girl a bucket and she is as happy as a clam! 

Once I was done with my summer class we headed down to the lake for a long weekend! Papa Jack was already down at the house when we got there so we got to spend some quality time with him which was nice. The weekend was full of sunshine, deck sitting, water floating and boat rides. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We visited Redheads, Captain Ron's and Frankie & Louie's while we were there. Lettie loved the beach front at Frankie & Louie's, we will definitely need to go back! I wish we could have stayed longer but the time we did get was truly amazing and just what we all needed!
