Oh the sun is setting on the glories of summer...right now I am looking out our front window as the sky is turning to dusk and the daylight of summer days is fading. Yes, I know officially summer does not end year according to the seasonal calendar, but for the Mikels household...this weekend was the last taste.
Saturday we spent the day cleaning and getting the last things in order before work comes along and adds a twist to our routine. We also watched some college football which just was wonderful. That evening we met our friends K&T for dinner out...it was so nice to hang out with them, they are the best and we so enjoy our time spent with them.
Sunday we finished up the cleaning and then Jason's parents came over for dinner and visit. We had a very nice time hanging out with them, it was nice for Camryn and Wyatt to see them too. I'll be honest Camryn's isolation proves to throw a kink in the family gatherings and it's hard. We miss our times with Jason's family and all the cousins playing together...it will come soon, we just miss it so much. Jason's brother Travis and his wife Ali came over to visit as well and it was great catching up with them and hearing about their first month of marriage...Camryn had a blast playing with Ali, she certainly enjoys her new Auntie!
Today we ran some errands and get some things for Wyatt's birthday party and just spent time together. Right now Camryn and Wyatt are creating amazing Play-doh creations and enjoying the evening together. Oh how I cherish the moments of listening in on their conversations...they are too funny!
We have had a very blessed summer...really for what it could have been it has been much better than we could have imagined.
* June was spent in the hospital...
* We came home by July...enjoyed a fun month of being home and pretty uneventful medical issues, which is always a blessing. Wyatt was successfully potty trained!
* August was Uncle T's wedding...birthdays...more great medical reports.
It was an isolated summer...no swim parties, no backyard BBQs, no real outings with friends...but, it was simply wonderful. To be at the beginning of summer and wonder if your little girl would pull through it all? Would your little guy by okay with surgery? How long would you live divided lives? All that circled around you was incredible unknowns and daily battles to wait, believe and hope....to stand three months later with Camryn doing well, Wyatt almost three and living day by day believing the best is to come...
Simply it is a gift...thank you Lord for the blessings of this summer and the hope of the fall to come.

I was just logging on before I went to bed to tell you that I am praying for all of you as you start school tomorrow. Praying that your transition back to school goes well. I am also praying that although Camryn's kindergarten experience will not be what you all hoped that it will be more than you could have ever expected. You are all so strong! We are struggling with health issues with both of my daughters and seeing your strength and faith only bolster mine. Thank you for encouraging me through your journey.
