Once I finished school and joined the full-time workforce, summertime became a rather overlooked period of time falling between my front yard gardening weeks and the Oklahoma State Fair.
For those of you who work in an office, you know how easy it is to forget what time of year it is. Especially, if you have a strict dress code (which I did) that requires wearing a skirt suit, pantyhose and heels rain, shine or smoldering heat.
I often remember sitting at my desk in a climate-controlled building and having no idea what the outside weather was like and even struggling to remember what month it was.
All that to say, since having Colton, the seasons have returned! Part of that is because I actually go outside during daylight hours. The other reason is my "office building" is not nearly as climate-controlled as my previous jobs. When it's hot outside my house lets me know. When it's cold, I'm busting out the space heater trying to warm my frozen toes.
Having a toddler, (What! Did I just say toddler? Oh, that is crazy that he's a toddler now.) has also got me into or at least dangerously close to water more often this summer than in probably 10 years. Not that Colton can actually swim yet, but he just looks so darn cute in his swim trunks that I can't resist any opportunity to bring him to the pool.
Check out a couple of adorable pictures our friend Tony recently took of Colton in his swim trunk cuteness.

Definitely cuteness. He is looking more like a toddler and less like a baby...
