Shawn will be home soon. We are so excited.
In the meantime, Carly is here. We are playing with the doggies, cooking and eating, sweating in the summer heat, and sipping various thirst quenchers on the porch. Summer Lynn is teething but is the first to smile. Maggie - who has a wee bit of arthritis and sometimes needs to be carried up the steps - continues to pursue her lizards and Bentley is as mischevious as ever resulting in several time-outs. Marley does not appear in this smorgasbord of images but he is here - so handsome and waiting in anticipation for his boy to come through the gate. The sun rises and sets and the blooms are beautiful even when fallen and do not get lost or forgotten in the cracks. And as always, the magic of the lake beckons.
To everything there is a season ...
That first photo of Summer Lynn looks exactly as if she has lost patience with the wait! And the last as if Shawn has just walked through the door. There is a quality of time standing still in this post...you are all so eager for this happy return...sweet anticipation!

Thanks for the neat pictures. Can't wait for Shwan to come home. Can't wait to see the many lakes at Lakeland - I love your neat town. Summer Lynn is beautiful as always.
Hugs,
Connie

That grandbaby of yours has the most expressive face I've ever seen!! No words necessary. I can feel the excitement about Shawn's homecoming. I know you will be glad to see him walk thru that gate. Anxiously waiting with you! Blessings, Kim.

Such a lovely welcome to my Monday morning Kim. It is so easy to rush each day in anticipation of what the next one holds but to every day there is a treasure to be found and you have captured this beautifully.

There's my sweet Bentley. There is something so pretty about the pink blossom trees that always catches my eye. You will see your son again soon, and what a glorious day that will be.
