Ya’ll. This weekend it was so stinking hot here in the midwest. And as I write this, the rain has finally come in and cooler weather ahead. I like the summer, but wow. That heat. And humidity. And stickiness. Yikes. But enough about the weather…that’s not why you came here.

I’m still enjoying looking back at pictures from my Dad’s visit here earlier this week. Most of the year, my parents live in KC, but they live in the Black Hills in South Dakota during the summer. I know we are unbelievably blessed to have our parents nearby so much. But man, do I miss them when they are in South Dakota. These littles sure do love their Papa.
