Fall is officially over and summer felt like months ago. Time is moving by at warp speed. How is it already December and almost a new year? I suspect having a baby and experiencing a global pandemic are to blame. Regardless, it has been quite a year so far. A spring, summer and fall chock -full of happiness, sadness, sorrow and loss, adventures, new experiences, and love.
There are too many memories to recount them specifically, but to summarize — we camped a lot, we hiked and we played outside everyday, we swam in Idaho’s pristine rivers and creeks, discovered new-to-us, favorite outdoor pockets in our greater backyard, learned more about birds, plants and gardens, ran races and discovered new passions, talked about hunting more than I ever thought possible, grew in our professions, raised/raising a baby and a toddler (and we still love each other), set new goals, upped our imaginative play, completed some minor house projects, cooked a lot and made new recipes, learned/learning to ride a pedal bike, picked out the largest pumpkin in the patch, took the little lads on their first backpack trip, became coffee connoisseurs, enjoyed the flame and flicker of several campfires, and we laughed, a lot.
I often wonder what the winter will bring — skiing and yurt trips, sledding and snowman-building, projects and goals, laughter and love. For now though, I’ll let the photos share our stories from spring, summer and fall.
Our dreams come true… too!
