aahh, summer!

Ever feel like life is flying by so fast you can hardly keep up with all the beautiful moments you want to remember always? The past few weeks have been like that for me. Here are a few pictures of our days...not necessarily in order!

I can hardly believe, Lord, that You've blessed me so much. I cherish the gifts of a son and a husband who honors You. Even every breath is a gift from You.

Joy and pain...tapestry of life. Joy to give us little tastes of heaven. Pain to remind us that we're not home yet.

Happy 3rd birthday, little man!


Cousin Bridger is helping try out Elijah's scooter. Thanks, Uncle T and Aunt C, for making his new (birthday) wheels! You are so creative!


Breakfast with everybody...happy, ordinary life! We felt so blessed to have Todd's family helping us celebrate Elijah's b-day.


Our new-found favorite beach at the lake.


Getting ready to dip his toes.


Our little happy family!



Holding a rock and listening to Grandma.


My boy, I love you!


This pose, so "normal" for most kids, is actually a LOT of effort and Elijah can't maintain it for long. We're excited that he's trying, though!


At Grouse Creek with our friends, Rusty and Linda, and their puppy.






This is before the haircut of a few weeks ago. Love those curls!


And now, I am off to make some more memories, hiking with my men. I have more pictures to show you but they'll have to wait! Love to you all from Idaho.
