a post in photos: we made it to the coastline

sunset goodness

I read this quote today and fell in love.

"I love my daughter. She and I have shared the same body. There is a part of her mind that is a part of mine. But when she was born she sprang from me like a slippery fish, and has been swimming away ever since. All her life, I have watched her as though from another shore."

also, these pictures remind me of this post

...and to sleep because it's almost midnight and i need to get up early.

early december

Right now a wild December warm front is gracing our land. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. But, we decided to take advantage of it, anyway. Especially the no coat part. We spent a good bit of our day outside and we watched as papa did his farming job and planted some garlic in the garden. I had to watch Sage carefully because she likes to play in the gravel and I'm always so worried she's going to sneak small pebbles in her mouth. She thinks about it, I tell you. I know she thinks about it.

 The sky here was a mixture of grey and blue. I noticed little rays of sunshine passing through the clouds as the day pressed on. And as the sun was setting, I thought maybe Sage and I could watch the colors change together on our blanket. Enough to actually go inside and collect the blanket and some toys to try and make it happen.

She stayed here for a little bit, but then had to move on to do other activities. These days my baby girl is on the go, on the go. She needs to run and play and explore. I love this, I really do. I guess I'm just a bit caught off guard at times with how active these little ones can be. The baby lifestyle sure is a busy one!

and on a completely different note....
This month, a year ago, I started this blog. So happy blogging anniversary to me!

friday rest

after a friday morning and afternoon of work and errand running, sage and I came home and gave into our bodies' need for rest. 

that and these colors explain our friday evening.

September

I've spent the beginnings of this month meeting up with friends, which was so fitting because fall is just weeks away and my dear friends remind me of fall. I think if all groups of friends had to identify with a season that represented them best, fall would definitely be ours.
