Ten Months!

It seems these monthly milestones may be the only times I manage to write on here. I'm working on becoming increasingly more physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually present in my actual life. It seems so often I live partially with my mind elsewhere, distracted mostly by the internet. It's so easy for me to get caught up in seeing other people's more polished lives. Or maybe more funny lives. Or maybe even more adventurous lives that I  forget to enjoy and live in my own life. So, I am working on in general being more present and grateful. It's my big personal improvement project.

I will try to have pictures of Eden on here still. I know there are at least a few folks who don't live nearby that would like to see her as she grows up. Everyday she becomes more enjoyable and more independent. We love her to the moon times infinity and beyond. And this precious and challenging gift just turned ten months on Tuesday. Holy Moly.

ten months and cottage cheese is my jam!

little snack time on the floor

first time in the tunnel and all the joys of static electricity!

family adventure to Antelope Island... should be called Bison Island or
torture by horrible biting flies island, depending on when you go.
BUT it's GORGEOUS there.

sort-of-happy hiker babe

Little Beanie girl (eden) loves her poopop (dad)

thank you other hiking family for this photo. i love these creatures.

We also managed to paint our bedroom. We went dark and we love it!
Davis' macbook, which I am using right now, is almost 10 years old.

The sun has been out a lot lately. It's warm and so lovely. Many days include one or two walks, park dates, trips to the local farm, and garden planning! I know winter isn't fully gone. It usually does a few surprise attacks until nearly June, but we are enjoying each day. Eden is up from her nap and it's time to get outside!
