Summer Fun

Though it has been a very hot week and the humidity hangs over us so thickly, I am praising the Lord for new energy. This past weekend was Corn Capital Days (a town celebration) where Micah was able to enjoy lots of festivities which included balloons, candy, corn on the cob, music, and dancing, a kid's fair, and the parade. He was interested in everything! After a long day of celebrating, however, his energy did not seem to have depleted one bit. After dinner, he was ready to play! Mommy was sweatier than ever, longing for a shower and bed; but thanks to Grandma, Micah got to go to the park for an hour and a half to play and watch daddy play tennis. When they came home I couldn't believe the mess! Micah was dripping with sweat and covered with dirt from head to toe. But boy did he have a good time. I was told that he had completely taken over at the park, thinking he owned the place and could do it all! He loved the slide and repeated the loop to go down it multiple times. Though I do get nervous watching my little daredevil, I am so excited to see him growing and exploring so many new activities. He is all boy, finding complete joy in being outdoors, getting dirty, running, jumping, diving, climbing, and making lots of noise. I can't believe how big my "baby" is getting. Summer is so filled with the warmth of life, and Micah is soaking in every moment of it! I continually thank the Lord for graciously giving me new strength to cherish these moments!
