Goodbye Summer











































It was an incredible summer.
One of the best.
It was busy and chaotic but I was present, relaxed, and enjoyed myself. I embraced the chaos, tried to flow with it, and reminded myself that it would only be a short while.
And it was short.
Then as summer began to come to it's end, I found myself perfectly ready to say goodbye and welcome a change.
goodbye summer
goodbye late nights and slow mornings
goodbye ridiculously full days and ever changing plans
hello schedule
hello crisp early mornings
hello quiet afternoons
hello family evenings with just us

hello fall... I have been waiting for you.

  2. Such wonderful photos. I love that you let the kids play in the mud. Too many moms wouldn't. : ( Your sentiments about summer are exactly how I feel. I'm ready to start hibernating!! : ) Have a beautiful weekend. xo

  5. i, too, am captivated by your typewriter. i have one back in my parents' attic that i plan to grab next time i am there. it is small and has a fancy italics font. hello fun grocery lists! i'm sure it needs a ribbon. i imagine it's like polaroid film, where you couldn't buy it for a while, but now you can again. cycles.
