Jane's First Day 🍎

Well, today is definitely a frame this moment kind of day. We didn't expect this little one to have a first day of "school" this year, but the Lord had other plans. There is a sweet church here in town that offered Jane their open spot for their sweet two year old's class, and after a lot of prayer, we decided to send her, and and goodness was she excited!!

You have a month of perfect fall, a month of sweet Thanksgiving, and a month of cozy Christmas! What could be better!! 

Ok, here are just a few thoughts on prepping for these sweet and fun months!!! 

Snapshots from the Beach 2024

Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I thought today would be a fun day to share some snapshots from our trip to the beach a few weeks ago. My family has been going to the beach in the fall since I was little and now it is so fun to be able to bring Jane and Andy too!! This year, unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short due to Hurricane Helene, but we are thankful for the few wonderful days we had.

We are still keeping everyone affected from Hurricane Helene in our prayers and also now Hurricane Milton. I know it has been a hard few weeks for so many. 

Here are just a few little snapshots from this year!! If you want to take a look at years past, you can find 2023 here and 2022 here. 

But without further ado, here is 2024.

Happy Thursday and Three Months to our little Andy!! I cannot believe it has already been three months and at the same time that it's only been three months since he's been here!! I said on Tuesday in my Three Things post that he was really close to rolling over and that night, he did it!!! We were all cheering him on, and I grabbed my phone at the last minute because I really thought he was about to do it!! Such a fun moment for all of us and definitely one to frame!!! 

Three Things - September 2024

Happy Tuesday!!! Today I thought it would be fun to do a little "Three Things" post - just sharing three random and fun things about the four of us!! We are in the midst of a fun and busy week this week - lots on our calendar from our small group starting back up, extra tutoring, family coming through town, the start date to a sweet women's Bible Study I'm joining for the fall, and lots and lots of laundry and packing for our very favorite beach trip with my family next week!! But today, here are just a few random and fun things that's going on these days with these Riddicks!!

Happy Tuesday!!! Last weekend, we took a little trip out to Jackson, Wyoming to see Pierce's family over Labor Day. It was such a sweet and trip!! And this past weekend, we snuck in a quick trip to Louisville to enjoy the last few days of my parent's pool.

Here are a few snapshots from our time out in Wyoming!!

Life Lately 8.20.24

Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone had such a wonderful weekend!! We are in an in-between stage over here of still adjusting to family of four life and also getting back into normal rhythms and routines. With school starting back up, tutoring is starting back up for me, our small group is starting to meet again, we have some fun trips and travel back on our calendar and we are counting down till the fall weather and "holidays" on the horizon. ☺️ So today I just have a few snapshots from life lately recently as we soak in the last of summer and this sweet little transition season!! 

Frame This Moment - Jane and Andy Reading

Happy Thursday!! Well, one thing I can say about Jane is that she's a really good big sister...and a second would be that she loves to read. And when you combine the two, you have today's post and a few really sweet moments to frame. 

Summer Trips to Louisville

Well, this summer has been full of trips to "Nana and Papa's house" in Louisville, and I thought today I would put together a few favorite snapshots from our time up there. 

Frame This Moment - Outings with Two

Happy Thursday!! I thought today I would jump back into my Frame This Moment series, which is truly one of my very favorites. Just a snapshot or two from the week that makes me slow down and be thankful for a small moment in time that might otherwise go unnoticed. Life is so sweet, but it moves so fast and sometimes it's hard to zoom out and take it all in. 

This practice has been a gift for me to thank the Lord for so many little things throughout each season. Some seasons are harder than others, but having a heart of gratefulness really does and can change my perspective so much. You can read my very first Frame This Moment post here and find all of them from the past year and half here. Today I just have a little moment that I want to remember from these first few weeks with two!! 

A Million *More* Moments to Frame

Aww happy Tuesday, friends!!! It's so sweet to be back in this little space, and today I just have a few more moments in time to share that have just made this summer one we will definitely never forget.
