Summer Trip

...in pictures. :)


Waiting for the bride with our munchkins. 

Armfuls of littles. 

Friends united on a very special day. 

Sweet bride and her new beloved. 

A Nepali dance that delighted us all!

Off to start their new life together!

Then to the beach to cool down!





You can only get one 18 month old in focus at once. 

Haystack Rock


Mmmm. 

More Mmmm! Birthdays are delightful! Thanks for getting older so we could have cake, Sis!

My mom's beautiful garden. 




Peek! "Momma! Where's my worm??"



My little loves. 

Lucy didn't want hugs. 


Wonderful trip!

The 4th

It was a relaxed day, followed by a really nice campfire up in the hills with friends. 
We had a good view of lots of tiny fireworks in the valley below. 



I just could not get a decent picture of all three girls looking and smiling. 



I like this line of kiddos picking berries on the hill. 


I'm thankful for the freedoms we still have and the blessing of living close to wonderful people.

Shameless Plug

Hi friends, I started another blog about the pregnancy condition that I've had 4 times called PUPPPs (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy). 

The blog can be found here.


If you know anyone who gets itchy in pregnancy, please pass it along! Thanks :)

Family Portrait

I got great amusement out of this family portrait by my eldest girl. 


The details crack me up!

It IS the little things...

...that bring me joy and help with the BIG troubles of life. I am so thankful for the tiny blessings that mean so much in this complicated soup of living here on earth, our temporary home. 

It is my baby's babble. 

It is a thunder storm on a hot day. 

It is a tiny outpouring of creativity. With glitter. 


It is the blessing of a husband asking "would you like to paint the porch?" 

Yes, please!




It is smiling every time I step on that porch and think of my husband's thoughtfulness there. 

The little things are big stuff.

It's not for lack of life...

But more for the abundance of it. Life and all the complicated, beautiful mess that goes with it has slowed my blogging. I don't have it in me to delve deep, but I thought I would post some random pictures from the last couple months, just for fun. 

Silly sisters with balloons...

What's for dinner?

A sewing lesson with Grandma...

The new walker stance...

Blurry dancing sisters...

Playing with a truck from Daddy's childhood...

My first batch of homemade sour kraut...

Wearing veils from thei Aunty...

An impromptu picnic...

Easter morning fun...

Empty tomb cookies...

A date by the new fire pit...

So glad warm weather is in the works...

Have a lovely evening, y'all.
