We’ve walked this trail before. But never in the late spring. In fact, we hadn’t even moved this time last year. I tried to leave my camera at home. Obviously, I failed. I remembered how beautiful it was last time we ventured through these woods But on this trip, our littlest family member was with us. Making her mark. Doing… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Easter}
Today was a day we’d been looking forward to for a long, looong time. It didn’t quite turn out the way we’d planned, though. But I really don’t want to talk about why. About the massive egg hunt our church has been talking up for weeks and weeks. Filling our kids minds with visions of bouncy houses, endless supplies of… Read More
better late than never
Almost forewent a post today, but it’s such a habit now, I’d have really missed y’all. So I’m posting. Even though my mom is in town. And my husband is out of town.

Later, Amie and I met at the Oatsvall’s fundraising concert to help out before the doors opened. It was awesome to hang out with so many who are passionate about… Read More

Unfortunately all the wildfires had left quite a bit of smoke in the air, but it was still a beautiful day, even without the sun shining. It was the first trip to the ocean for Sophie and Isabelle,… Read More

In honor of a great Dad
I know yesterday was Father’s Day. But we were in denial about it here. Chris is away and so there wasn’t much to celebrate. In fact, I was trying to keep the boys from being sad that daddy wasn’t here so we didn’t discuss Father’s Day much besides yelling “Happy Father’s Day!” into the phone when he called. So I… Read More
