So much great time with family this summer. Gram and Gramps were here two weekends ago and we have been reminiscing about their visit and looking at all the pictures. Summer weekends filled with family and visits and outside fun and talks of all kinds.
We got bird feeders and Gram and Gramps taught me all about what works to get the birds visiting.

We had a very big day yesterday!!! Filled with cutting down three smaller treees growing in a place they never should have been. But the most important part of yesterday was Lucian discovering his full balance on the strider bike! So exciting. Nana and Papa made it out of the house together for some yard work and a meal. A wonderful and full day! More yard work and projects today! The country girl in me has been awakened. But she still does NOT like the bugs. .

Evening shenanigans. It’s the small things; the look on their faces when they’re learning, the patience of us when we are teaching, the light in their eyes when they are trying to convince us of something they want, the unexpected hug that I’ve wanted all day, the smile in their eyes when they giggle with delight over something they thing is just the most funny. These are the things. These are ALL THE THINGS. I love them and miss them already simultaneously because they are getting bigger. And I hope they always know how much they are loved; how good they are; how they are cared for; how they are light embodied.

These two sillies and their Underwear Bandit shenanigans. Aurora won’t let me take a picture unless she can SEE it while it’s happening; hence the selfie. But these two sure know how to brighten a morning after a night full of wakes and bed sets and interruptions galore. Today is a fresh start!!! #petriedishanddirt #mezzanna #morningshenanigans #sunnshinewhereareyou #goodmorning #mylittlesillies #underwearbandits
Happy morning. Thank you @natallyfisher for this amazing mug. And thanks to The Philibuster for keeping it real and taking this photo. When I’m not in stage makeup I look like this most of the time. Or, maybe more accurate, I feel like this and can look pulled together when I need to. Because coffee is more important than hair.
Grateful for today!

This afternoon was all about this! The joy. The sun. The walk. After a great day at work I got to come home and spend time walking with the Littles in the most beautiful sunshiny ☀️ afternoon. Feeling lucky. The warmth was so great! The frogs I am listening to now as I curl up and get ready for nighties are equally delicious for my soul! It reminds me of growing up on the farm-I actually hated that farm house-but the birds , the air, the frogs, the songs in the morning and throughout the seasons, the greenery and and huge open sky-I LOVED all of that. I’m glad that being in this village has brought this to my kiddos too. Here’s to more frog songs cheers

Work and life and balance nots all crazy hard sometimes. And it’s all crazy beautiful. Feeling lucky and #blessed to be on an #amazing #realestate team with tremendous people. And feeling #grateful to be in a home that is ours with a beautiful family that challenges me and loves me even when I challenge them.
