{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

One last summer pie

The last day of summer called for one more summer treat.  Homemade peach pie...pie crust recipe here and pie recipe here.  Top with some fresh whipped cream (don't count the calories) and enjoy...we certainly did!

Happy Birthday Violet Jayne!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little girl.  What a wonderful year of joy you've given us.  We look forward to many more years of watching you giggle, grow, explore and become a lovely young lady.  A year ago, we had no idea what life would be like with two children, or how we could possibly care for and love two little ones.  We didn't even know if you were a boy or a girl yet.  Now we look back and realize how silly we were- you have only increased our joy, multiplied our love and enhanced our little family. We can't imagine life without you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
