Things I love Thursday....Jack

So I haven't posted in a few days....we've been busy.  Busy with finding a job, busy with summer things...the pool, bowling, walks, parks, etc.  Busy just being BUSY.

So for the things I love this Thursday I thought I would make them about Jack.  We have been non stop doing things and trying to enjoy every second.  So enjoy a couple of collages I put together of just a few of our Summer moments that I love.  I would love to hear your favorite parts of Summer as well!

Enjoy your Thursday!
