dreaming of those summer days

Today the temperature jumped into the 40s and it felt so good. It was the first time in months that I didn't triple layer before heading outdoors. The kids and I even took our puppy for a walk! Alas, it's heading back down to the 20s tomorrow and I'll be my miserable cold self again. In the meantime I'm just going to continue looking over my summer photos to help me brave the last two months of winter. Below is one of my favorite images of my three kiddos and their dirty summertime feet. The image was chosen as a Photo of the Day today on Shutterbugs.
