In short: I took not one photo at Beth's wedding. But it was beautiful. And she was more than beautiful.
Thanks to my SIL Mandi, however, I have shots from the reception. The kids thought the dance floor was the coolest place they had ever been. They danced for over an hour without stopping.
I had to do another whole post with just dance floor pics because they are too much!
And then we had a week of vacation. Ahhhhhh! I've mentioned before that traveling with small children doesn't really feel like a getaway. That's just the way life is right now. This trip too had a lot of daily life with little ones in it. But with extra adults around who love these kiddos, and only a few work responsibilities to cover, there were also some moments of breathing deeply.
One of the great things about traveling east is that the kids stay on Colorado time. If I plan well, I can get 8 hours of sleep and still wake up a few hours before them. Then I get to read and have my coffee on the porch, with this view to start my morning.

I am reading The Rest of God: Restoring Your Soul By Restoring Sabbath by Mark Buchanan, and it is simply beautiful. Just reading it feels like a Sabbath experience.

Bonfires and picnics are some of my favorite farm memories. Glad I get to share them with my kids. |

Proof that we were all in the same place at the same time. It'll only happen once this year. |
Love this!! It was so good to have everyone in the same place at the same time and to enjoy our time together. Such good memories!
