Wordless Wednesday: Family Summer Fun

August 24, 2011 By Erika Zane

24 Aug

Little Man clapping for the Itsy Bitsy Spider performance by Grandma and Grandpa (and daddy too):

 Little Man eagerly following daddy to the playground:

Little Man could literally take this ball (it makes a loud jiggle noise when he bounces it) everywhere:

Oh yeah!  AND I got my first ultrasound of baby #2 last week:

I can’t believe summer’s almost over, but I am also really looking forward to the next season!

Today is another perfect day in a series of three here in NJ.  It’s been a welcome relief from unbearable heat and humidity and tons of rain.  This morning, I decided we needed to take advantage while it lasts, so we rushed out the door for a quick walk.   As we walked, there was a light breeze and I really felt like I could sense Autumn approaching.  It made me smile.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
