Life Lately 8.8.23

Happy Tuesday!!! With August starting to be in full swing and our calendar starting to fill up too, I thought today would be fun to just share a little of our life lately. Summer has felt like the best in a lot of ways... A slower pace, enjoying lots of time with little Jane, lots of mornings and evenings outside and at the park, good food, lots of family time and just a season of the year we don't want to come to an end!! 

Here's just a little look at a little of our life lately! 

Pretty much sums up everything we've been up to in one picture...string cheese wrapper and all hahaha but really, these two are definitely the reason this summer has been one of the sweetest...

From hanging with this little one...

And watching her learn and discover and explore...

To date nights and baseball games with Pierce ☺️

You can read a little bit more of this specific night here 😉 

With a slower tutoring schedule in the summer, we've been loving meeting Daddy at the park after work and getting in a few miles running! 

We've seen lots of deer! Have explored a lot of different trails...

And have had our fair share of field sprints and soaking in all this green grass!! 

Speaking of which, we've been working hard to get our backyard a little more full of grass as well! It's coming along for sure!! 

This little nugget is not shy on personality these days and loves playing "dress-up" with my winter things while I clean the bathrooms on Friday mornings... 

Please note her "expired gift card" that is truly one of her very favorite toys currently hahaha

Saturday afternoons have been full of pop corn and a few favorite shows these days... 

We've been loving some fun homemade dinners! 

And the newest addition around here is our very first attempt at a homemade loaf of sourdough! 

It wasn't perfect, but it turned it out way better than we thought... 

And my was it good!!!! I don't know if we'll ever be able to go back to regular bread anytime soon 😂 

Having family in town for the weekend just makes everything a little more fun!! 

We love days and lunches with Aunt Audrey!!!

And this couldn't describe after church on Sunday feelings more 😉😂

Another house update coming your way soon, but we christened a little new dining room table in our mix now too ☺️

And had the best weekend celebrating my mom's birthday! This is my sister's amazing lemon poppy seed dessert - too good!! 

Also starting to be known as Nana around here :)

Jane and I are loving sneaking in a few simple crafts when we can! Especially to give as gifts! 

Jane loves these two, and I do too!!

Mama's little helper on Friday mornings - she took this right out of my hands, and I'm not complaining! I love her little helper spirit for sure!! 

And of course some days, her little helper spirit looks like taking out every party decoration that I own while I'm around the corner 😉 all part of the season! 

Lots of love to give out these days!! 

And a new carseat in our mix!!

This little one! I can't believe she's getting so big!!

She loves hanging out with her snack on the porch while we have one sometimes too when Daddy gets home!

And someone help me because this looks all too real and why does it feel like it'll be here before we know it hahahah 

But until then, we are soaking up her little head on our shoulder and her tired eyes at the end of very full days. 

Thankful for this little fam and all the life and fun and crazy and good and hard that this little season holds...goodness, we are thankful! 

I'm off to enjoy this Tuesday morning...full of all of life's daily things but mixed in with snapshots of this season and thanking the Lord for our many blessings!!

Here's to enjoying the little things, celebrating the big things, and soaking in all the moments in-between!! I'll plan to see you back here tomorrow!!!

Lots of blessings!!!
