Hope Days of Summer

Before getting any more into this wonderful time of year we realized we never said a proper goodbye to the long, warm days of the last few months. Since Hope prefers to refer to herself in the third person these days, here's our chance to blow a kiss to "Hope days of summer" on this first day of fall.
MWA to you...
*runs with daddy without bundling up... spontaneous "pitnicks" by the headlights of the car... bubbles and sidewalk chalk (but not the meltdowns that often accompanied having to put them away for the night)... long eyelashes on a sweet, sunkissed face... park adventures... weekly lunch dates in the square- no mittens, hats, scarves necessary... hand-me-down sundresses patiently waiting maddie's turn (likely the obsession with washing "hans hans" knows no season)... backyard pool afternoons... evening soccer matches and walks through the neighborhood... memories with friends and family... the joy of watching Hope grow... and special to summer '08- becoming a big sister for the first time!*
