    Love L.M. Montgomery!

    We're in the throes of World Cup loving at our house too. It's been fun watching the guys bond over the game.

    Fireflies, colors, summer nights . . . what a beautiful time of year. Giving thanks with you!

    We haven't seen any fireflies yet- I hope we get to see some this summer!
    That half-stack of pancakes shot is adorable!
