Pictures!

I can't seem to do anything beyond posting pictures the last few months -- but better than nothing!!

Family snuggles!  Thankful.

Amelia wasn't in the mood to pose :)  But these three sure are darling!

Best Easter shot I could get!  One screaming and one picking their nose -- toddler photo shoot :)

Great-great Auntie Bernie!

Easter egg hunt #7 ... or 8?  I lost track -- we did one every day for weeks!

One of my children may be an egg hoarder!

Sweet moment.

Spring is here!!

Hiking, lots of play time in the yard, gardening and Scott's birthday ... Yep, Spring is here and we are so so thankful!  I feel like it's been a very long winter of sickness for us (one downside to the kids being in preschool -- the revolving door of illness) so we are soaking up the sunshine and vitamin D!  Lent for me this year has meant some life changes like significantly decreased internet use (always trying/struggling to live more presently which is a HARD THING to do in this digital age) to create space for God and people and relationships.  But one thing I haven't given up is Instagram because like every other mama on the planet, I think my kiddos are so dang cute and I can't seem to stop taking pictures of them :)

Cheese!  Absolutely nothing about his smile looks forced, right? :)

Never want to forget how Luke wants to be carried on every hike after
about 10 minutes because, "Mama, my legs are just too tired!"

Happy #35 to my love!  Can't imagine doing life with a more amazing man.

My Oregon girl!

Amelia may have just eaten a cupcake!  Sugar high!

This one was sent to me at work.  Made my day!

Love how much these two just love one another.

My ever-moving, determined girl!
