This Fall {pictures and snippets}

Sweet friends, I have missed you and oh how I have missed this space.  Is it really December?   When only yesterday it was August and I had a newborn daughter in my hands??

October marked the 8 year anniversary of this blog.  8 years. That blows my mind.  Where does the time go?

I want to start writing again regularly, maybe once each week, but I wonder if there is anyone still reading amid the cobwebs of this unattended space where I have poured out my heart for so long.  And now with my heart full to bursting, there is so much I want to share with you.  So many stories I want to tell.

Life with Evelyn is wonderful.  She is joy beyond measure.  She has been a rather fussy baby during the day these first few months but sleeps well at night.  I believe we are coming out of the colicky newborn phase now that she has turned 3 months.

We honestly do stare at her in disbelief that she is really our girl!   I wonder if I will always look at her this way.

Life with our ducks continues to be fun and entertaining.  They started laying eggs a few months ago and we collect 2 or 3 each morning (they are fantastic for baking and good to just eat as well).

Our sweet baby James turned 3 in September.  After a difficult period following Evelyn’s birth, he is back to being the charmer of the family and happy-go-lucky.

  2. I’m still reading, too! Your words and beautiful pictures never cease to inspire me with contentment and peace in my heart. As a mother, there are a few blogs I look to for inspiration and yours is one of them. Thank you.

    I hope we readers never bring you guilt for not writing, but only joy for the chance of expressing your creativity and feelings. Have a delightful December!

  3. I knew James would find himself again! We all have to rearrange a little. Erin your photos are truly pieces of art. (The one with Evelyn gazing at her father is incredible.) I miss you here! Keep posting when time allows.

  8. I am still reading too! I love your photography and your content. I would rather see fewer posts with more meaning than some other bloggers who seem to sell their souls with sponsored content. I know it’s a business but blogs like yours are a breath of cool fall air. Thanks!

    • Thank you, Laura, that means so much to me. I agree wholeheartedly. I think I grew weary of blogging when all blogs seemed to be turning into businesses and I wanted to hold my family close to my heart.
