The annual school Fun Day tradition: last week of school + whole afternoon of outdoor games + getting sprayed by the fire hose at the end = Pure Joy;
fresh Michigan strawberries, and my favorite strawberry shortcake for dessert;
both girls running with friends and classmates in the LBW race;
sisters, all smiles on the last day of school;
silly hot tub time and dinner with cousins;
lemonade stand and friendship bracelets for sale in the front yard;
lazy mornings, reading on the side porch after breakfast;
a magical, lucky, romantic, adventurous trip with my husband to Austria, Switzerland, and France (more on that later);
a tangle of books and bodies in our bed on the night we got home;
running with Annie during her first 5K (and her running with a smile on her face the whole time).
