We took our film camera with us on our family vacation. Albeit a bit cumbersome to tote it along with our other camera, three kids, and the accessories that go to each of those five things, it was worth the extra burden. We had a goal to get through three full rolls on this trip but fell short of that mark. For some reason it is easier to reach for the Nikon z6 to capture the moment. I'm sure once our arms are less full of babies, they can be more full of cameras ;) Grateful for the film we ... continue reading...
Two Months
Since I don't use Instagram anymore but I am a sucker for tradition, I am moving my monthly posts over to this platform. YAY! Maybe these posts will be short and sweet like the ones I did on Instagram or maybe I'll write longer, rambling on as one does, since I am no longer limited by character counts. I guess we will see as we go. But look! I did do a "two month" blog post for Millie too! I'm writing this post with this little guy strapped to my chest. He hasn't been good about wrap naps for ... continue reading...
Mount Princeton Hot Springs
With views like this, we crown it the king of all pools! As we planned our family vacation to Buena Vista, Mount Princeton Hot Springs was a must on my list and several others as well.

Seeing Hilde climb all ... continue reading...
A Family Reunion in Buena Vista
I come from a close family with four kids. We since have all grown up, gotten married, and moved away / had kids or both. Meaning that the family has more than doubled in size since the 90's. With Bruce's family who all lives in town, we get everyone together about once a month to make sure we make memories and spend time together. But my side doesn't have that luxury as half the kids live elsewhere. That means when we do plan a whole family reunion, it is a pretty big deal. Last time we ... continue reading...
100 Things I Love (Summer 2022 Edition)
I love being pregnant and I love not being pregnant anymore after nine months. I love seeing the face of the little human who has been kicking me for the last couple months and having them steal another piece of my heart. I love how the more kids I have, my love only multiplies not divides. I love those first days with our bebe when Bruce hangs out with me all day long. I love when my mom watches the girls and people bring meals so I don't have to think about it. I love the footprints they take ... continue reading...
