{wordless wednesday} Week Away

On Sunday we said goodbye to my oldest who is away at soccer camp. This is the first time he's gone away like this and we miss him like crazy already! I can't believe how old he's getting.

I'm not a big drinker. However, in the summer I find that on the weekends it's actually nice to put my feet up at the end of a long, hard, hot week and enjoy a nice chilled glass of wine.
