Monday was an exciting day around our house. It was the first day of summer and Cannon and his friend, Lydia, declared it National Western Day. They decorated our house and dressed up in western wear and demanded that we all put on our best western wear to celebrate. It was quite a change from the quiet days Grace and I had been living! The day ended with a Western Party in our backyard, where they invited several friends to join in the fun. They read a story, played games, and even had a scavenger hunt. It was so good to see Grace smile and have so much fun! I am so thankful for Cannon's tender heart for wanting to entertain his sister and for his creative spirit. He always knows how to have a good time!! Kevin's parents were in town visiting from the weekend (our oldest nephew, Jordan, graduated from high school, Yea!!) and so they got a real kick out of watching the festivities too! Praise God for good times and brothers who know how to think outside of the box! (you can have fun in summer without going swimming!)
