o hello again

without even meaning to

i took some time for quiet

instead of blogging, 

i've been swimming and reading and sleeping

and thinking and instagramming 

and being sick a lot and wondering and spending time with visitors 

and listening and watching and cleaning....

you know?

just the normal stuff that you do.

i just haven't much felt like sharing.

generosity, with yourself, goes through waves i guess.

and, like i've mentioned before, my time is less my own than ever before.

i guess that makes me a bit more careful in how i spend the moments that are left over.

i'm sure it's just a season.

but today, as i am watching the wind blow droplets of sparse raindrops on my bedroom window and the palm trees flop back and forth, i feel like sharing.

i've been reading some good books.

wanta hear?

right now i'm reading "the last telegram". 

just 6 chapters in.

but so far, i'm hooked.

it could get super sad, it's set during world war 2....just to warn you.

i just finished these three little numbers too...

i told you i've been reading.

sometimes i just need to take words and ideas and photos IN instead of spitting them out.

i hadn't done any photography since we first got here and we went to the north shore with phoebe, until the other day.

Ty and I decided to do a little photo shoot with our favorite beach darlin'.

here's one of my favorites.

i will share the rest soon.

just let me get warmed up back into blogging, ok?

we've been really into snorkeling.

well the kids have.

i've been into supervising.

and ty taught ella to ride her bike with no training wheels the other day!

it was THE sweetest ever in the history of the world.

of course there's more...

there's always more.

but this is what i've got today.
