. . .

confession: these pictures are from the archives. i’ve been going through the archives, looking at how beautiful our year has been, feeling grateful for the abundance and growth but a wee bit overwhelmed by how much of the year has passed. i’m feeling the weather change, wanting to be quiet for a bit, wanting to see some changes happen, feeling some bumps in the road and trying to work past them as seamlessly as possible. i’m getting ready for some new things, trying to keep marching and ignore those gathering voices of doubt in my head. i’m enjoying the everyday changes in emma, the closeness of our family, the belly laughs and littlest joys. i’m savoring and internalizing and working and (over)thinking. i’m reading and listening and trying to rest. i’m hoping and dreaming and believing.

trying to, anyway.
