Ode to Summer 2016

This photo dump is of ridiculous proportions, but guess what? Once this is said and done, I'll feel totally up to date on the blog. I'm sad that I don't have stories to go with most of these pictures, but I'm sure you can get the general idea. We had a fantastic summer, and especially now in the dead of winter, we are seriously missing it! Every one of these pictures brings my soul joy. I am so beyond blessed to have to life I have with the people I love in it. It's not always pretty, and far far from perfect, but I try every day to soak in every drop of the goodness and never take this life for granted.
