{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Falling back in love

I have found myself falling back in love with Jackson all over again. When our family moved back in May of this year, we thought it would only be for a short time. But with some good news we received from Jeff's work we may be here for a while. Don't get me wrong we have always enjoyed Jackson but I feel when you live somewhere for a while you forget how wonderful it is. With the change of the seasons our family has been venturing outside more and more. With having an almost 11 month old who is enjoying discovering the world around her, we find trips outdoors even more enjoyable. Not the beautiful Teton's, wild animals or the shimmering Snake River, it is the excitement Sophia gets to watch the leaves move in the wind, waves crashing on the banks and the sounds of the streams moving. With two national parks at our finger tips we are very lucky to have such wonderful spaces to show Sophia and watch her mind become so engaged with the world around her. Little moments of her learning and exploring make Jeff and I really love our little piece of heaven more than we ever have before. This past weekend (Jeff's days off Friday & Saturday) we took Sophia to the Town Square to pick a pumpkin, hikes in Cashe Creek, and Slide Lake.

Hello.

I finally started one :)

The plan is for this to be somewhere I can post our adventures, projects and growth as a family! Somewhere to consolidate my thoughts, enthusiasm, dreams, and for our family that live far away to view and be apart of our daily life. For me, I want this blog to be a place of peace, a reminder of our family joys, and celebration of our life. this blog space is where I want to focus on the joys and moments of bliss that we have together as a family. I hope that this can serve as a reminder and an encouragement to savor the tiny moments that will pass us by.
