Campout

Wes has been talking to Wyatt for months about camping. Wyatt has been looking forward to going. A few months ago they slept in a tent indoors, but this was the first camping trip outside...in our back yard.


Daddy gathered all the camping gear, and Wyatt his own gear...


They had a snack right before bedtime...



Just before bedtime, after prayers and lullaby...



He slept hard...and his daddy read with a flashlight.



Had an early oatmeal breakfast...



It was good!

It was a successful night. And Wyatt enjoyed every moment with his daddy.

We had a wonderful summer. I feel very blessed to be where we are right now. I have not always had the opportunity to be at home full time. In fact, when Wyatt was born I went back to work until he was 11 months old. I pumped twice a day and my selfless sister, Kayne faithfully and lovingly kept my baby boy.

I'm so thankful that the Lord eventually, (in His perfect time)brought me here - it's been a sweet summer. Sure there have been challenges, but it's been really nice overall - sort of how our Flo-town weather has been (hot, humid - some days unbearable, some thunderstorms, though some refreshing rain and then some really perfect days, too)

"You are observing special days and months and seasons and years." - Galatians 4:10

Next week, we are heading out for our family's vacation to the beach. And tonight, Wyatt and Wes are in the backyard camping so I'll have some more posts coming in the next few days.
