life of charmings

love, family, happiness

August 4, 2014 in birthdays· family· instax· little latelies· summertime· that's life

the reset button!

[saturday’s poolside afternoon in honor of my daddy’s birthday!]

lately i’m…

…staying up a little later…

…waking up a little earlier…

…and drinking a little too much coffee…

…birthday celebrating! [my daddy’s is the day after maddalena’s!]…

…denying that summertime will ever leave me…

…giggling endlessly as maddalena photographs everything with her new “camey…”

…and living in awe of all her new words and thoughts and sentences…

…thinking my husband is the absolute handsomestest…

…appreciating that we have sweet neighbors to visit with on any given evening…<
…loving, wishing, waiting, wondering, feeling, planning, thanking, being…

…leaving my iphone behind a smidge more often…

…falling in love all over again with my little instax camera…

…driving around on expired tags, woopsies…

…and pushing the reset button on life just a bit… because sometimes, as life keeps on moving forward, the brain gets all jumbley and it’s time to reset! i know of a couple ways to do that, of course, my favorites being 1. pool, 2. horses. so, hey, you know the routine… 😉

    These are beautiful photographs! It sounds like you are having the best bits of summer. Leaving my iPhone at home a little more is something I could definitely aim to do, as well as waking up earlier! xx

    I'm trying to leave my iphone behind more. Its hard though, I feel like I'm having a panic attack. My wife can do it easily, and I need her to teach me. Lol. x

    that photo of her asleep by the pool is just such cuteness! very wise and good to hit the reset every now and again before time just passes you right on by!

    and expired tags! gasp! i need matt to remind me of those sorts of things.

    goodness i love these photos and i love what you have been doing, staying up later is definitely a part of summer and an extra cup of coffee has been very helpful lately
