We've been under drought-induced water restrictions this summer, so the kiddos were excited to have a little bit of water play at grandma and granddad's house this afternoon.

Summer is winding down. And this girl right here will be in fifth grade --the last year of elementary school-- when school starts again in just three weeks.

It's a huge blessing to see her playing with such carefree joy. She's growing up, but she's still my girl.
