Embracing This Texas Summer

This summer, in dreaded anticipation of the disgusting heat, our saying & mindset is embrace the summer. Instead of being miserable, we've decided to enjoy the wonderful parts of summer (fruits in season, swimming, snowcones) & doing what we can to live with the not-so-fun parts(grilling as much as possible & using other methods other than the oven to not heat our already hot house, traveling out of texas during the hottest months) It's amazing how much ones outlook can impact their experiences. So far, so good-Here's to embracing the summer!

Both Skylar & Piper have been taking swimming lessons since they were 6 months old. They love swimming-so we've been very excited about the weather being warm enough to "show off their mad skills".
Another wonderful activity that comes with summer is Camp Thurman. Skylar loves going to camp. Stephen was a camp counselor at Camp Thurman-I love watching them bond over camp activities & songs!
Pacifier amputation date set-June 22nd. Start praying now(seriously).
Sweet Stella is always smiles.....
I love the way that Skylar is holding Stella's hand!
Good Morning! This is what morning looks like at the Burks House. The girls slowly awake & make their way to the living where they plop down on the couch & watch a show while I make breakfast & do dishes. Regardless of who wakes up first or the hour, the girls are all smiles, which in turn makes me smile!
