Sternberg Summer Camp was virtual this year and Liam just loved it! I was so impressed with the effort they put into making it fun and structured for the kids despite the times. Huge shoutout to them for pivoting and still being able to make it memorable.

Pure joy. Last few weeks of being two and she’s living it up - barefoot, muddy, sun baked and mosquito bitten ❤️

My mom and Emry are taking guitar lessons together via Duo ❤️ I found a guitar for my mom at the thrift store and they are doing something with it here - I know nothing about guitars!

Sent this picture to my sister a few weeks ago, showing her I’m staying on my game 😌 I’m supposed to be out in the mountains hanging out with my sister and her husband and hiking this weekend with friends 😞 just got the text that they are almost to Denver and this sadness came over me. I’m so excited for them though, they have an awesome schedule lined up, I’m cheering them on from KS 🏔 This whole “not knowing if you’re doing the right thing” is tearing me up. @mindylundy missing you today, glad we go to talk on the phone ❤️

Probably going to get flack for this one but we do daily temperature checks. Ruby has gotten quite good at it 😂

Before I start this post I was to preface that I’m not diminishing any one else. This is about me and my feelings and they are valid too. While I was walking in my element, dirt in my shoes, sun in my face, I suddenly felt a little melancholy. Our Mt Rainier climb was canceled and I’m kind of mourning it in a sense, having something so exciting to look forward to - only to have it taken away and not to have the same social outlets to talk through it as I did just mere months ago. I did have an overwhelming (in a good way) amount of support via text and phone calls but gosh dang I like to see people’s faces. It’s just not the same to vent frustration through words. It’s a confusing feeling because there is a lot of pain and death surrounding the world right now - but am I allowed to be sad too? For something I gave my literal blood sweat and tears to for months. Thank you for reading this far. Our climb was rescheduled for next year and I’m looking forward to putting these feelings towards an intense training schedule yet again. I’m okay. This moment of melancholy was short and I got to spend the day with a friend after weeks of being isolated so I’m focusing on the good things ❤️

He was so far away from the group because he was throwing a fit about this adventure. I hate that I have to caption my first picture like this but it’s truth.
Being inside our bubble for months, not knowing exactly what was going on, it sapped the adventure out of this guy. After a pep talk he was excited and he ran ahead to explore. Lesson #267 in this pandemic - mom’s attitude directly effects kids’ attitude so practice deep breaths and maybe take a shot of whiskey. (That was a joke)

More quiet moments. Real talk - Ruby has just been along for the ride in our crazy busy life since she was teeny. Planning naptime around car rides/hours at the gym/picking kids up from this, that and the other, waking her out of deep sleeps because I had to, it kind of makes me cringe. This new slow life is taking some getting used to but I am loving that Ruby is thriving in this new calm.

A wide array of pretties! I even bought a forsythia plant...I’ve made a joke about forsythia so many times since March and no one laughs. A. It’s either not funny and my sense of humor has nosedived in this pandemic. B. My audience hasn’t seen Contagion and doesn’t get it. Jude Law 😎

We have been eyeing this chair for weeks. I just knew the kids would fight over it and there weren’t two available. Found a similar pair at estate sale so they haven’t been asking me about the egg chair anymore 😅
