I have found that it really is the little things that make me smile and remind me that I have a pretty good life. For example, a few minutes ago I heard James say "That's so funny!" a few times in a row. It made me smile so big, and of course I texted Ben right away and told him. I love that boy! Below are pictures of some of the little things that have made us happy this summer.
*Disclaimer: There are loooooooots of pictures.
