    Camping 2016

    Ugh. Aaaaand now I am a year and three months behind. Where did the summer go?? Seriously, I just can not catch up neither here or in real life. But it’s been such a great summer relishing all the time together and soaking up all the little moments. Especially as the kids keep getting older seemingly faster and faster, it’s ever more apparent that the time to enjoy is NOW and I’m thankful to say that we’ve been doing some really good enjoying of being together, this stage of our family life, this past summer of little and big moments. Maybe you’ll hear all about it… next summer. Ha ha.…

    Hawaii, Part 6

    Hard to believe the previous post was over and done with while the morning was still bright and early. We still had a packed schedule to enjoy our last full day in Hawaii. [sob].                                                                                                   Mahalo Hawaii for a trip we’ll never forget and aloha until we meet again.

    Hawaii, Part 5

    We turned in early the night before because Phil had a full day planned for the next day.   Starting at 2:30 am! [Gulp].   Thankfully, the 3-hour time difference worked in our favor and it wasn’t *too* difficult to get everyone up and ready to go. Depending on who you ask. Plus we had the kids wear comfy regular clothes to bed the night before so all they had to do in the morning was wake up and brush teeth. And also get into our rented mini-van where they could go back to sleep during the two hour drive. Not that they did, but the option was fully theirs…

    Hawaii, Part 3

    Then we hit the beach! The beautiful, beautiful beach. We could’ve stayed there all day. In fact, we actually did!
