endless summer

nearly October and we still have beautiful "weeds" blooming!

gratitude

one of my favorite motions of the day,  when retiring this towel for the evening.

quiet times

changing the way we do mornings since August 2011.

ever thankful that the book,  that speaks to me, 

also does kid speak.  

Jesus Calling.

up in the air

 

I had more fun than expected chasing down this hot air balloon tonight.

  A regular night of mini-vanning turned to an adventure.

Happy as can be.

a helping hand

11 years between them, 

a special bond beginning to form. 

everything's better in pink.

even milk?

i lift my eyes up

an olive branch

A heartfelt love note

penned following a meltdown.

Forgiveness ensued.

bathing beauty

coping skills ?

it only takes a spark

first, last, and one of the best campfires of the summer season.

i'm thankful for relaxation and respite.

handmade

I am blessed with truly talented,  and gi-normously generous friends.

Love this applique affixed on a onesie for lil' Naomi.
