InstaFriday

It’s that time of the week again…FRIDAY!

Where we tell the stories behind the grainy pictures.

Join us in seeing the beauty amid the chaos.

It’s fun.  Promise.

(I’m jeannettg on Insta if you’d like to follow.)

So InstaFriday is late.

Sue me.

We’re on vacation.

And there’s no Internet at the house…and sneaking away for free wifi in town is actually more work than it sounds like.

Plus, I’m being lazy.

And loving every minute of it.

The kids are loving it too.

There’s lots of cousin time.

And swinging on porch swings time.

Lots and lots of ice cream and reading.

Lots of reading.

It’s good for my soul.

That Shauna Niequist is good.  Real good.

We’re on a lake.

And while the town the lake is in has admittedly seen better days (it’s really run down…sad, actually)…it turns out that there a couple of gorgeous wineries you can boat right up to.

It’s surreal.  Like stepping into another world.  Which is basically is.

Tucked away in a little corner of that Spanish (Italian?) Villa of a winery was this chippy bench and tree stump table.

Between that and the lime green pot, I was ready to hijack it all on the boat.

They wouldn’t even notice it.  Right?

I’ll take good care of it.  Promise.

This girl.

At breakfast.

She’s just too much some days.

With all the boating and swimming and eating and swinging comes sun kissed, water logged, and exhausted kiddles.

The best kind.

What have YOU been up to this week?

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    I just noticed that this post is filed under ‘infant loss/miscarriage’ and then I thought, “oh no!” but then I thought, “oh, it’s probably right next to ‘instafriday’.”” At least I hope that’s what happened.

  1. […] Last week was one of the hardest weeks I’ve had in a long time. Even still, there were moments of joy. I didn’t post instafriday last week because Friday was an especially hard day. Today, I’ll recap the past two weeks, linking up with my friend Jeannett of Life Rearranged. […]
