our 2018 in tiny one second little snippets. I love this way of documenting. I love seeing our everyday moments all gathered together. this is us. we are here. we are living and doing and loving and crying and laughing and through it all… we are here & we just keep going. After not documenting 2017 it feels good to document our lives again……
I poured my heart & soul into this one… the girl & the video. ha. I spent a few months gathering photos, scanning photos, crying over photos, placing photos, finding the exact music with the right words & beat, making & re making this video. it is like a time capsule for me. not only of Mikayla’s life but of our family’s life. the…
so, the past week has been hard. very hard. I’m not ready to write it down yet, hopefully soon. I am reflecting on the past. thinking of my children & all of the years I have spent giving every piece of myself to them. parenting is hard. we all make mistakes. we learn. we keep going. I can only hope that none of them ever…
2016, Mikayla’s final marching band season!! for days I have been gathering photos & videos from this past marching season & I think I am finally ready to put them all together. I am only missing a few videos from early practices that I lost when my phone died on me. oh well, not going to stress about the few videos I lost because…
you know that feeling, when you know you are dreaming, the best dream & you can feel yourself beginning to wake & you don’t want to have to leave this beautiful dream. you close your eyes real tight & try to will yourself back into that time & place of your dream. yep, that one. usually those dreams I am with people that are…
just a visit to the park this afternoon 10-3-16 trying to remember to take more video, obviously still learning but, having fun doing it. just trying to capture her little movements, the way she puts her front teeth out, her hair in the wind, her arms & the way she moves them. of course still photographs are my favorite but the way the video streams…
little bits & huge moments in our lives. sometimes I want to write it all down, other times all I can do is just try to keep up with life. looking back now, there are so many little & big moments missing from this blog, from the record of our daily lives. this space, it holds everything I hold close in my heart &…
here we are, already at the end of august. summer is such a fleeting, fast season. Jarred is living on his own, out of our house. Mikayla is back at school for her senior year. Sophia was the age to begin kindergarten this year but we decided to wait one more year & in the meantime I am home schooling her. so far, it…
you at five… how do I even begin? you are sunshine. spunk. wonder. amazement. innocence. growth. inquisitive. hysterical. sincere. sweet. loving. thoughtful. you are one of a kind little girl. you love your family, to pieces. you listen to every word, all of it, I watch you take it all in & you remember EVERYTHING. you will tell me a story about something that…
Mikayla & I had decided a few weeks before her birthday that we weren’t going to have a party. we figured, she is turning 17, that might be too old to have a big slumber party with your friends. a few days later I realized how sad I was about that. it would be the first year that we didn’t have a big celebration…
