It is hard to put into words what a special place our family's little lake house is. It has been in my family since my mom was a little girl, and I have spent my summer here for as long as I can remember...
Flashback: Racing out of the house with bread when the ducks showed up on the lawn is one of my favorite memories.
Brian also jumped right into the lake tradition as soon as we met. He cares for it as if it has been part of his lifelong memories as well. In fact, Brian and I got engaged at the lake! We have dreamed and talked for years about the joy of sharing the lake with our child. Introducing a little one of our own to the lake is something to which we have looked forward. Finally, this was the summer!
While we didn't make it to the lake as often as we would have liked this summer, we enjoyed our time there (although the lake with a kiddo in tow felt MUCH less like a retreat and more like real life)! Mikayla is such a water baby...just like her mommy and daddy, which made our time on the water so much fun. By the end of the summer she was putting her face completely in the water and blowing bubbles.
Lots of sweet snuggles on the screened in porch
Ready for action
