Insta-Wednesday: Jet Lagged

August 28, 2013 by Kelli

Is it possible to have First-Week-Of-School jet lag? BEcause I think I have it. I went to bed at 8:30 last night. No, scratch that – I fell asleep in my bed with the light on and a book in my hand at 8:30. I woke up at 2:00, turned off the light, and immediately fell back asleep.

When my alarm went off at 6:15, I felt like I could sleep another three hours. I still feel like I could lay down, close my eyes and be back asleep in an instant.

This getting back in the routine is killer.

So while I attempt to wake up, how about enjoying a couple of Insta-Wednesday photos, eh? If we were sitting here together, I’d offer you a cup of espresso.

This what I wish I was doing right now. Today. At this very moment.

Daisies make me happy.

Fourth Grade. The year they learn the recorder. Friends, there isn’t enough coffee or alcohol in the world to numb to get parents through this momentous event…

Again with the daisies.

Happy Wednesday to you all! May it be full of sunshine and flowers, and devoid of all recorders. Amen?

And we all said amen…

Insta-Wednesday: Arkansas Edition

August 7, 2013 by Kelli

I miss my bed. I love traveling and I love being with family, but there comes a time when you’re ready to be in your own home with your own routine and your own bed. I think we are reaching that point. It will be sad to leave – it always is. But home is a good, good thing.

But enough about that. It’s time for some Insta-Wednesday, a series of posts to fuel my ever growing addiction to iPhone photography and photo apps. Say it with me: GOOOOOOOOOOOO iPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY! YEAH!

I didn’t hear you…

Saying goodbye to our beloved St. Louis.

We got sweet time with friends when we picked up our boys from K-Kountry. 17 years ago this month, I met Melissa and Rachel. I’m so thankful for our continued relationships!

Air soft wars with friends. Classic.

We have enjoyed ample amounts of snuggle time with our new nephew. That is, when we can wrestle him away from Papa.

Swim time with cousins

These two are two peas in a pod. Love them.

Tia is building up quite a cache of handstand pictures. I think I’m going to make her a mural for her wall.

Barn Swinging at Kanakuk

The K-Kountry bridge

Happiest place on earth? I believe it!

Nostalgic this week as we enjoy the city and people we love.

A wonderful, uncharacteristically cool, evening with friends.

A beautiful afternoon spent at the St. Louis Zoo.

The enjoyment of watching siblings love one another well.

Swinging in hammocks with friends. Doesn’t get much sweeter.

A morning with three of my best friends and all 11 of our kids. It wasn’t relaxing, but it was refreshing. This photo was taken by a 7 year old, can you tell?
