8am. Slept in until 8am. Seriously vacation time.
Usually Jim and I are true early birds. For me, it is carrying the Taylor torch. And Grandpa DeBoer's habits, minus the 6am call to check on the weather! Early birds all over the place on my family tree.
Coffee. With Cooper.
Luke wearing Pa's Hamline sweatshirt for the second day in a row. Wearing it because it is Pa's. And Luke is President of the fan club. Quote of the day yesterday, "Pa is the the best skiier ever". Um, it is summer and no one else was even talking about skiing. For Luke, it all comes back to Pa.
The weather up here in northern Wisconsin is so glorious. The sky last night over the lake as the sun dropped down over the horizon was breathtaking. We all agreed it looked like a postcard it was so perfect. It felt fake! The sky is a light summer blue in the days with puffy cotton ball clouds that occasionally whiz by. Quick, cheerful clouds. The water shimmers in the sun. It reminds me of 30 years of summer up here. All I need is my sister, a boom box, a diet coke and some spf 4 with lemon juice in my hair and I'd be 15 again.
I wish my camera would download pictures to this computer. And somehow I just know the pictures would not do the beauty of this place justice! Perhaps the fact that this may well be our last summer here has me taking note of each day and treasuring it away in my heart. Lake Tahkodah has been a sweet gift for our family. We are grateful for each and every year.
Cooper is now down fishing at the lake. Jeb is in the bunk house reading in bed (a boy after his mom's heart!). Luke and Anna are rustling around for breakfast. And that must mean my post is surely done.
Emma Kate, what are you doing now? It's night where you are and I imagine you tucking in for the night. Bless your sleep, in Jesus name, my sweet one. I can't wait to look at the sky with you, see the morning arrive with you here in our home, and feel the warm weight of you in my arms in the summer sun.
Love from the cabin,
Sara

The part about Luke and his love for Pa really made me giggle! Teddy is EXACTLY the same way. 100% completely and utterly in love with both his Grandpa's! We won't be talking about anything remotely related to the Grandpa's and he'll constantly add to the conversation with a Grandpa anecdote. :-)
