oh, summer, summer..

how i love thee.  but all good things must come to an end (so they say).  and what a good thing it has been.  i went MIA for awhile to truly enjoy it... but it's over, school has begun and here i am.  rested and eager to get back in the full swing of things.  i have lots of things to blog about, but this blog will be a tribute to summer... well, my summer.  :)  it was rough in the beginning when my grandmother passed.. but ultimately it turned out to be a great summer.

{summer 2009}

june-  my mom, daughter and i took a girls trip to Disney World.  here's a few fun snapshots..
