July - October 2012

What an exciting title, huh?!

Truth is, in this book of life we're each writing, there are so many chapters and the pages fly by so fast.  

Here are some highlights from the past few months.  Lucky us, there is so much more sweet than bitter in our lives.  We count our blessings daily.
